What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) is an Innovate UK (IUK) Challenge program to support UK industry to seize the economic opportunities from the global transition to clean technologies and electrification. The programme will help businesses across numerous sectors including transport, energy, construction and agriculture to invest and work together to capitalise on the UK’s strengths in this technology.

As part of that program, Newcastle University has been awarded a large grant to establish a new DER Innovation Centre (DER-IC) in the North East of England. The NE DER-IC will concentrate on the prototyping and scale-up of power electronics and electric motors.

This tender is focussed on the power electronics aspect and specifically the purchase of relevant solder paste inspection (SPI) systems for in-line optical inspection of circuit boards following solder paste deposition.

The scope is for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the equipment as detailed in the Invitation to Tender document, with after sales support, a minimum 12 months parts and labour warranty and maintenance.

This requirement was only advertised to all Sellers appointed to Lot 12: Visual Inspection of (NU/1609) Power Electronics Manufacturing Dynamic Purchasing System.

CPV: Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“(NU/1609-9) Supply of a Solder Paste Inspection System” is a dynamic market: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
