Summary of the contracting process

The CEFAS22-25 OWEC Poseidon project, overseen by Cefas, focuses on the provision of research vessel services related to offshore wind planning, aiming to mitigate environmental impacts. This procurement is part of an open tender process, currently in the award stage, with the deadline for submission set for 20 June 2022. The project encompasses two lots: Lot 1 for the North Sea and Lot 2 for the Irish Sea, both with a maximum contract period ending on 31 December 2023. The total value designated for this procurement is approximately £660,000, highlighting its significance in the renewable energy sector.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy, marine biology, and survey vessel operations, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies offering related services will find the competitive landscape advantageous due to the specificity of the procurement, making it suitable for businesses specialising in ecological metrics, strategic environmental baseline data collection, or those who can demonstrate innovative approaches to minimizing offshore wind impacts. Successful bidders will enhance their market presence while contributing to sustainable offshore wind development.

Notice Title

CEFAS22-25 OWEC Poseidon (Lot 1 - North Sea, Lot 2 - Irish Sea) RE-RELEASE

Notice Description

POSEIDON (Planning Offshore Wind Strategic Environmental Impact DecisiONs) is a Crown Estate-funded project (Offshore Wind Evidence & Change program (OWEC)) led by Natural England. The aim of the project is to provide tools to inform offshore wind planning, to minimise impacts on the natural environment through avoidance and early awareness of likely mitigation / compensation needs, allowing sustainable expansion of offshore wind. This will be achieved through the collection of strategic environmental baseline data and updated spatial models for key species (receptors), assemblages, and a suite of ecological metrics (diversity, functional traits). These will be used to identify regions that are most vulnerable to offshore wind impact and mapping of the environmental risk to help guide future offshore wind development rounds and to feed into wider marine planning. This procurement is sub-divided into 2 Lots as set out in the Specification of Requirements. Tenderers must make clear which Lot they are bidding for. Each Lot will be evaluated separately. https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/854493290180FAC44266
