Notice Title

ITT - Research to inform the development of a Franco-Scottish R&D collaboration on new subsea engineering solutions for floating wind platforms linked to the production of green hydrogen

Notice Description

The to be-procured research project will aim to identify and develop opportunities for Scotland and France to collaborate and share expertise in the development of technologies that support the growth of these important sectors. While collaboration may initially be at a regional level, the aim will be to establish the foundations of a national programme that creates opportunities for further Franco-Scottish collaboration in the renewable energy sector, and in particular for offshore floating wind and hydrogen. The final report of this project will be based on international evidence and literature and primary qualitative data to be collected through interviews and focus groups from both French and Scottish stakeholders. Thus, the nature of this purchase is fourfold: 1) An evidence and literature review; 2) The design of qualitative research; 3) The collection and analysis of primary qualitative data; 4) A final research report including specific recommendations to develop collaboration between France and Scotland on new subsea engineering solutions for floating wind platforms.

While collaboration may initially be at a regional level, the aim will be to establish the foundations of a national programme that creates opportunities for further Franco-Scottish collaboration in the renewable energy sector, and in particular for offshore floating wind and hydrogen. The final report of this project will be based on international evidence and literature and primary qualitative data to be collected through interviews and focus groups from both French and Scottish stakeholders. Thus, the nature of this purchase is fourfold: 1) An evidence and literature review; 2) The design of qualitative research; 3) The collection and analysis of primary qualitative data; 4) A final research report including specific recommendations to develop collaboration between France and Scotland on new subsea engineering solutions for floating wind platforms.",
