## Summary

The UK Green Investment Bank PLC is currently seeking a Technical Advisor for its offshore wind project, designated GIB026. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically environmental engineering consultancy. The tender is active and was published on 23rd November 2015, with a deadline for submissions set for 27th November 2015. Located in Scotland, this project has a total value of £50,000 and follows an open procurement method, which allows any qualified bidder to compete for the contract. The contract period is due to commence on 30th November 2015 and extend until 31st January 2016.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in environmental engineering and energy consultancy services. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in technical feasibility assessments, project scheduling, and capital expenditure risk profiling will have a competitive advantage in this tender. Firms ready to take on advisory roles in renewable energy projects, especially those with a focus on wind energy, should consider this as a potential avenue for business growth and expansion.

## Notice

The Green Investment Bank is considering a minority investment in an offshore wind farm currently in development (the "Transaction"). GIB is looking to appoint a Technical Advisor ("TA") to conduct a detailed technical review to ascertain the technical feasibility and risk profile of the project and review the project schedule, key milestone dates and CAPEX contingency profile. Bidders should note that while GIB expects to commence due diligence promptly, there is a risk that its non-binding offer may be rejected or require further negotiation. Accordingly, there is a risk of delay in or, in extremis, cancellation of the assignment.
