## Summary

The University of Strathclyde is planning a procurement process for equipment to support its growth into whole power systems, in alignment with the UK’s Net Zero programme. The procurement falls under the goods category and is currently in the planning stage. Interested parties should register their interest by 23rd October 2020 to participate in pre-tender market engagement. The University is located in Glasgow, and the procurement process is expected to open for bids on 1st December 2020. Key equipment items sought include bidirectional converters and dynamometers, among others.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for companies engaged in the supply of high-tech equipment and services related to power systems and energy transition technologies. Businesses specialising in electrical engineering, renewable energy, dynamic testing solutions, and related services would be particularly well-suited to compete. This initiative not only supports the University’s expansion plans but also contributes to the broader goals of energy sustainability in the UK, offering a platform for suppliers to engage with a prominent educational institution.
