Valor total estimado: 3 200 000 EUR 💰
Breve descripción:

This procurement takes the form of a pre-commercial procurement (PCP). In a PCP, R&D service contracts are awarded to several R&D service providers in parallel to progressively develop solutions in a phased approach. This allows the procurers to compare several design solutions in a competitive environment.

The TurboWave PCP combines the phased approach of the PCP model, a stage-gated industrial development process, and an international evaluation and guidance framework for ocean energy technology.

Each selected operator will be awarded a framework agreement that covers up to three R&D phases:

- Phase 1: Concept development

- Phase 2: Design Refinement and Lab Testing

- Phase 3: Detailed design, manufacture and testing in Mutriku Wave Power Plant

After each phase, intermediate evaluations will be carried out to progressively select the best of the competing solutions. The contractors with the best-value-for-money solutions will be offered a call-off contract for the next phase, under the framework agreement.

Phase 1 is expected to start in April 2023. Phase 2 is expected to start in January 2024. Phase 3 is expected to start on January 2025 and conclude in June 2026.

The selected operators will retain ownership of the intellectual and industrial property rights (IIPRs) that they generate during the PCP and will be able to use them to exploit the full market potential of the developed solutions.

Duración: 39 meses
Descripción de las renovaciones:

The Procurer reserves the right to extend the duration of the framework agreement or any call-off contracts from it (time extensions only).
