This procurement process involves the grant of new seabed rights to developers for the development of floating wind farms with a maximum energy generation capacity of 4.5GW. The procurement stage includes a pre-qualification questionnaire phase with a submission deadline of 18th April 2024. This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the construction-related services industry, particularly those involved in wind turbines, offshore mooring work, and turbine installations. Suppliers are required to participate via The Crown Estate's e-tendering portal and will be evaluated based on set criteria detailed in procurement documents. Successful suppliers will be awarded agreements for lease for the development of floating offshore wind farms in specific project areas within the Celtic Sea, fostering growth and innovation in the renewable energy sector. ## Notice This is a services concession contract.
