## Summary

The Crown Estate has completed the procurement process for a "Commercial Advisory Services (Marine) Framework Agreement," supporting its management of the seabed around England, Wales, and Northern Ireland for offshore wind (OSW) projects. The procurement, following a competitive flexible procedure, concluded with an award on 24 November 2025. The framework agreement, worth £4.8 million gross, launches on 8 December 2025 and runs until 7 December 2028, with a potential one-year extension. Located primarily in London, the project emphasises technical, offshore, and marine services. This procurement allows The Crown Estate, classified as a central government public authority, to align with UK energy security and net-zero goals by utilising OSW significantly.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the marine and energy sectors, particularly those with experience in OSW projects. It is well-suited for large consultancy firms or SMEs with strategic insights into OSW and proven delivery records. Participating businesses like OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED and GRANT THORNTON UK ADVISORY & TAX LLP highlight the potential for significant consultancy work. The framework's focus on strategic commercial advisory roles opens avenues for firms equipped with strong systems thinking and commercial acumen to support the transformation and maintenance of the UK's energy landscape.

## Notice

The Crown Estate (TCE) manages the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and is responsible for its utilisation for offshore wind (OSW) projects. In line with Government and industry appetite, OSW is a core component of supplying the UK energy system in terms of meeting projected electricity demand and achieving the UK Governments energy security and net zero ambitions. In that context, TCE will from time to time require commercial advisory support in developing, delivering and managing its OSW products . TCE is establishing a multi-supplier Framework which will require commercial advisory services in relation to its other marine sectors. We are seeking suppliers with a strong understanding of the specifics of the OSW industry, with demonstrable strategic systems thinking relating to other OSW sector work it has undertaken , and with an exemplary delivery focus.
