Description
The University is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to enable the purchase of a range of power
electronics equipment that will be tendered under a Lot structure on the DPS.
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.
The DER program vision is "To make the UK globally recognised as the centre of excellence in PEMD
manufacturing processes".
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 the purchase of relevant equipment for that activity.
