Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Estate, a central government public authority located in London, initiated a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Leasing Sustainability & Supply Chain Advisor (Marine)." This process aims to acquire advisory services related to sustainability and supply chain aspects, particularly in the context of offshore wind leasing and other marine sectors. The procurement method was open and executed under a competitive flexible procedure. The contract, valued at £1,200,000 (gross £1,440,000), covers services and is tagged under 'Offshore services' and 'Marine services' within the United Kingdom. The initial tender stage concluded on 8th April 2025, and the award was marked as complete on 30th January 2026, with the standstill period ending on 10th February 2026. The contract period is set from 25th February 2026 to 24th February 2029, with an option to extend by an additional year.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses experienced in providing sustainability advisory and supply chain management services, especially those capable of handling large-scale, complex projects related to offshore and marine sectors. The framework agreement scope encourages competition among large enterprises capable of offering comprehensive advisory services across social value, nature, net zero initiatives, and supply chains. While SMEs had the opportunity to bid, the suppliers awarded include high-profile firms such as Baringa Partners LLP, Deloitte LLP, Grant Thornton UK Advisory & Tax LLP, Guidehouse Europe Limited, and Ove Arup & Partners Limited, indicating the competitive nature of the tender and the level of expertise required. This contract not only promises substantial financial opportunities but also positions firms to lead in the burgeoning sector of marine sustainability, fostering long-term business growth and sector influence.
