## Notice

This contract will deliver an implementation phase for a Viet Nam Centre of Excellence for Offshore Wind. It is intended that this implementation phase will establish an early stage, but fully operational, Centre of Excellence (CoE) with clear structures for ownership, governance, membership, scope of activities and financing arrangements. Although intended to be flexible as the CoE develops, the CoE should encompass core values which align with the collaboration, pace and technical engagement required to deliver progress in scaling up the offshore wind sector. It will establish itself a unique position in the Vietnamese energy landscape to do so, bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders to accelerate progress. Over-arching objectives for this phase include: a. Develop plan for implementation considering: i. Membership - continue/build additional engagement with Government of Viet Nam, international development partners and UK staff (DESNZ, FCDO, DIT). ii. Governance - finalise/agree governance structures and implement them (initial steps taken to identify structures in scoping study). iii. Project processes - finalise/instigate processes for defining and delivering activities under the CoE, including over-arching objectives for each technical area. iv. Delivery of technical objectives - begin delivery of core set of initial activities under skills & training (likely first priority); capacity building; research, development & demonstration. Scale of support defined following completion/progress in (i)-(iii). b. Ensure inclusion and engagement on/with UK expertise, research and industry to expose them to the opportunities in the Offshore Wind sector in Viet Nam. The work will include detailed stakeholder engagement and analysis of the results of that engagement as well as the production of a final report.
