The Company.
Narec is a national centre for the UK dedicated to accelerating the deployment and grid integration of renewable energy and low carbon generation technologies, utilising wind, wave, tidal, solar PV and thermal power. We work with blue chip companies, SME's, start-ups and University spin-outs to commercialise technologies, which generate electricity and heat; can be deployed into the electrical network; or form part or all of a distributed energy system. The Building The National BladeTesting Facility project aims to develop a large scale testing facility; utilising and expanding on technology developed by Narec over a number of years. The facility will form part of the energy and innovation connector and will be located at Narec's site in Blyth, Northumberland. The project will enhance Narec's existing blade testing capabilities by providing a facility that will test wind turbine blades up to 100 metres in length. The project will provide an open access facility for blade developers to test and prove designs and components onshore improving their efficiency and reliability before commiting to costly and high risk testing and demonstration offshore. The National Blade Testing Facility forms part of a broader national offshore wind innovation asset which is being driven by investment from One North East and Strategic Investment Fund. The test facility will be capable of testing a range of baldes from 40 metres up to 100 metres in length. The test hub will have the capacity to perform ultimate type testing on 80 metre and proof type testing on 100 metre blades in an enclosed environment.
This tender is to establish a framework agreement to supply materials, machined parts, fabrication and related items to Narec.
