Abstract: Marine Power Systems (MPS) has set an ambitious plan to help achieve the world’s net-zero targets. As a leading developer of marine energy extraction hardware, MPS has a vision to create a better future, where a mix of clean, affordable, ocean energy technologies deliver safe, secure and sustainable power. On its mission to unlock the power of oceans, the company has developed a modular, flexible, floating offshore energy platform for low cost accelerated deployment at scale.
In the summer of 2023, MPS’ Megawatt-Scale (MWS) Demonstrator project will install a floating wind energy platform at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) test site in northern Spain. BiMEP offers deep water conditions with a direct connection to the Spanish electricity grid making it an ideal site for MPS to test and operate the device for up to 5 years.
MPS is seeking a highly experienced contractor to complete the platform fabrication and the assembly of the platform’s components as well as all sub-systems, ready to be towed out for offshore installation.

The tender submission deadline is being moved to 1700 on Friday 17th June 2022.

The reason for this is as follows:

• We are aware of historical IT issues with the uploading of tenders to Sell2Wales
• There is a file size limit on Sell2Wales and we have been made aware by some candidates that this may create an issue

Therefore, and as per the tender instructions, the following will be acceptable if Sell2Wales cannot be used for full submission:

• Upload a tender submission ‘cover sheet’ [‘form of tender’ including technical and commercial proposals and any clarifications and/or exceptions to their tender submission] to Sell2Wales. This needs to confirm a bid has been made and references the documents to be sent via alternative means e.g. appendices and attachments
• Send all tender documents to MPS via alternative means (email/file transfer software). If alternative means are needed please discuss with the MPS point of contract ASAP.
• Inform the MPS point of contact by 1400 on Friday 17th June 2022 that the submission has been completed and you have not encountered any issues

All uploads/emails received will then be treated as the completed tender package

Note: Only submissions received prior to the Sell2Wales deadline will be accepted
