Summary of the contracting process

The OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY CATAPULT has awarded a contract for a technical analysis or consultancy services project titled '02962837'. The project involves a high-level study on cable topology and connection methods for offshore floating wind, comparing subsea wet mate connectors with conventional daisy chain arrangements. The procurement method was an open procedure (below threshold) with a total contract value of GBP 35,240. The contract period is from 5th April 2023 to 9th June 2023, providing opportunities for SMEs in the services industry in the United Kingdom.

This tender by OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY CATAPULT offers opportunities for businesses to participate in a project focusing on future cable topologies for offshore wind. Businesses providing technical analysis and consultancy services related to subsea connectors and cable array topologies are well-suited to compete. The project has a completion deadline of 9th June 2023, and it aims to explore new opportunities and reduce risks in offshore floating wind technology, catering to a niche segment within the renewable energy industry.

Notice Information

Notice Title

02962837

Notice Description

This project is a technology agnostic high-level study of the costs, risks and opportunities for different cable topology and cable connection methods (including subsea wet mate connectors) for offshore floating wind, in comparison to a more conventional topology in a daisy chain configuration between turbines. This study is important as it aims to answer the following questions: * What topologies will potentially be used for future FOW sites (e.g. daisy chain, fishbone, or star)? * What type of connectors will be required and their current technology readiness level (TRL) in the subsea sector (i.e. what is going to be available in 2025 to 2030)? * What are the expected failure modes and reliability level of cable array topologies using subsea connectors versus conventional daisy chain arrangements? How does this influence the overall array-level system reliability and redundancy? * What are the installation characteristics of the comparative array topologies for installation and disconnection (i.e. required vessels and equipment, time scales, any additional risks and uncertainties)? * What are the comparative purchase, installation and O&M costs for different connector and topology combinations?
