Description

ORE Catapult Materials Laboratory, located at the Charles Parsons Technology Centre at High Quay, Blyth has a requirement for purchasing a new dynamic Universal Test Machine ("UTM") to meet increasing demand from customers. There are current and future planned demands for testing subsea cable manufacturer's cable sheath material samples in fatigue life at increasing loads which are currently outside the capability and availability of the current test machines held in the laboratory such as the benchtop DMA 850. The purchase of a new larger capacity machine is also in-line with the longer term objectives of the materials laboratories to be able to test more of materials that are typically used in the construction of large scale wind turbine rotor blades.

The first Social Housing Emerging Disrupters (SHED) Framework Agreement was launched in January 2022, comprising 18 innovative solutions. The aim was to create a framework of innovation permitting start-ups, small and medium sized businesses and the voluntary sector as well as established larger companies to offer their innovative products and services to the public sector. The second SHED framework (SHED 2) comprising a further 20 suppliers with a range of innovative solutions was launched in January 2023 and was shortlisted for the 'Innovation Procurement Project of the Year' Award by Built Environment Network.

The framework will provide successful suppliers with the opportunity to promote their innovation and will allow fledgling markets to test their true potential, providing the foundations for success and wider adoption across the public sector. The Framework Agreement will operate on a national basis, providing an offering suitable for members of PfH in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and other public bodies permitted to use the Framework Agreement.
