## Summary

The procurement process titled "UK-NL MPI" is currently being conducted by National Grid Interconnector Holdings Limited, focusing on the provision of marine services for feasibility studies related to a new HVDC multi-purpose interconnector linking Great Britain and the Netherlands. This tender, situated primarily in the UK and the Netherlands, is at the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 21 December 2021. The overall contracting period is expected to last for 1800 days, and the procurement is being carried out through a selective method involving a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the marine consultancy sector, specifically those specialising in environmental surveys, route selection, and maritime asset optimisation. Companies with expertise in seabed surveys, fisheries liaison, and risk assessment of marine installations would be particularly well-suited to participate. The requirement for multiple candidates means that small to medium-sized enterprises, as well as larger firms with relevant experience, could capitalise on this project to expand their operations in the growing renewable energy infrastructure market.
