OAASIS Group Wins Offshore Wind Farm Deal

Following a competitive tendering process conducted on behalf of one of the big six energy companies by ECOSSE SUBSEA SYSTEMS, industrial supply company OAASIS GROUP LTD was awarded a two year framework agreement by the energy company to supply personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintenance, repair and operational equipment and consumables (MRO) for the wind farm off the Humber Estuary.

Ecosse Subsea Systems, a technology based company operates the SCAR trenching plough and various other technologies and will supply the major utility provider with the carousel and back deck personnel, tasked  with the installation of Humber Gateway array cables.

OAASIS, following an initial start-up order of approximately £150,000, will supply a 50 man Ecosse team with work gear, life jackets, survival suits and essential tools and equipment for the duration of the contract.

Cameron Fisher, Procurement and Supply Chain Specialist with Ecosse Subsea Systems, reports that: “After a very comprehensive tendering process conducted on behalf of the energy giant, OAASIS quoted over 95% of the items on a very diverse consumable list and proved to be the best overall. Subsequent to the award of the contract to OAASIS, Ecosse Subsea Systems have been very impressed with the fast, personal and detailed response rate and the on-time delivery and quality of the customer service provided. OAASIS are to be commended for their high standards and have clearly set a new benchmark for the supply of safety, technical equipment and consumables for the Wind Energy and Oil & Gas Sectors.”

OAASIS recently moved to a new purpose built headquarters in Great Yarmouth, with 30,000sq.ft of warehousing and also operates from a base in Aberdeen with partners in Ghana, Nigeria, Singapore and Azerbaijan.

Lee Sparkes, OAASIS Business Development Manager said: “We first worked with the client on a local wind farm ten years ago and since then we have supplied a number of other wind farm projects, including London Array, Burbo Bank, Robin Rigg, Gwynt y Mor and Germanys Meerwind and Bard.

“The latest contract award proves that we have maintained our high standards and specialist supply to the sector through dedication and enormous experience of our staff and remarkable range of quality products that we hold in stock including the industry’s leading brands of specialist products and of course our own TRAVERRSE brand of PPE.”
