This open procedure includes two lots: Lot 1 for the North Sea and Lot 2 for the Irish Sea, with a total value of £600,000. Key dates include a tender submission deadline of 4 May 2022 and a contract period starting from 1 July 2022 to 31 July 2023. The procurement is located in the UK and is related to the Offshore Wind Evidence & Change program aimed at supporting sustainable offshore wind development. This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in marine environmental research, surveying, and ecological consulting. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in collecting strategic environmental baseline data and providing ecological metrics will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses capable of operating in offshore environments and managing complex data modelling will find this procurement particularly relevant to their service offerings. ## 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 2 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. https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/70396623017FFED1DE12 ### Lot Information CEFAS22-25 OWEC Poseidon POSEIDON (Planning Offshore Wind Strategic Environmental Impact DecisiONs) is a Crown Estate-funded project (Offshore Wind Evidence & Change program (OWEC)) led by Natural England.
