## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is seeking services for project management related to the maintenance of Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs) to support offshore energy licensing and leasing rounds. The procurement process, classified under research services, is currently in the award stage, with the awarded contract valued at £5,750,000. The contract runs from April 2, 2018, to March 31, 2023. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, with the tender closing on January 15, 2018, and the award published on February 3, 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental consulting and project management sectors, particularly those with expertise in strategic assessments and environmental legislation. Companies that are well-suited to participate typically include those meeting SME criteria and capable of delivering research services across the UK and its overseas territories. Engaging in this project could enhance a firm’s portfolio, especially if they have prior experience in offshore energy or environmental compliance projects.

## Notice

BEIS is responsible for administering environmental legislation that applies to offshore oil and gas, offshore gas and carbon dioxide storage. The Department has had a legal obligation since 2004 under EU Directive 2001/42/EC and the implementing UK SEA Regulations to undertake an SEA to inform its decision on plans and programmes covering offshore oil and gas, offshore gas and carbon dioxide storage, and offshore renewables. This means that SEAs need to be carried out and maintained as necessary prior to licensing / leasing rounds in which offshore areas on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) are offered. Screening and Appropriate Assessments will additionally be required, if any applications relating to a specific licensing round could potentially significantly affect the integrity of any site designated, or being considered for designation, under the Habitats Directive (EC/92/42/EEC) or the Wild Birds Directive (EC/79/409/EEC). The specification for this project is attached.
