The project falls under the industry category of Research vessel services. The procurement deadline for submitting tenders is January 17, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on February 9, 2023, and end on July 31, 2024. This tender opportunity for the POSEIDON project offers potential business growth opportunities for service providers who specialize in research vessel services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this tender, companies can contribute to the development of offshore wind planning tools and environmental impact minimization strategies, supporting the sustainable expansion of offshore wind projects in the Celtic Sea, Southwest, and English Channel regions. ## Notice 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 3 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. Lot 3 - Celtic Sea Lot 4 - Southwest Lot 5 - English Channel Note that Lot 1 (North Sea) and Lot 2 (Irish Sea) of this POSEIDON project were tendered and awarded earlier this year (2022).
