## Summary

The Crown Estate is initiating a planning stage for future offshore wind leasing as part of its strategic Marine Delivery Routemap. The engagement process is for construction-related, offshore, and marine services within England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. On 14 August 2025, an invite-only webinar will be held, providing an overview of the Routemap and updates on regional opportunities. Interested parties must register by 4pm on 11 August 2025. The Crown Estate continues its efforts to identify leasing opportunities in collaboration with stakeholders, positioning itself as a central government public authority in London.

This preliminary market engagement presents significant growth potential for businesses involved in construction, offshore, and marine services. Companies that specialise in offshore wind development or have expertise in marine construction can benefit greatly from engaging early in this process. The market-focused session provides a unique platform to understand upcoming opportunities, network with decision-makers, and influence future procurement rounds. Agile firms ready to adapt and provide innovative solutions will find this engagement essential for securing positions in forthcoming leasing rounds.

## Notice

The Crown Estate periodically holds competitive tenders to lease areas of the seabed in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for the construction and operation of offshore wind farms. The Crown Estate, through its collaborative, strategic delivery plan for the seabed and coastline - The Marine Delivery Routemap - has identified the most suitable regional areas of potential opportunity for future offshore wind in England and Wales. These areas were published in the Future of offshore wind report (Future of offshore wind | The Crown Estate) in September 2024. The Crown Estate is undertaking further work on the Routemap during the Summer, and based on the feedback and information received, this will lead to the launch of the first version of our Routemap in early 2026. As part of our planning for future [offshore wind] leasing, The Crown Estate intends to conduct a series of market engagement events. The first engagement event will be a market focussed session to provide an overview of the Routemap, along with an update on our spatial work to-date, regarding the regional areas of potential opportunity. This session will take place from 11:00 - 14:00, 14 August 2025, and will be held in webinar format. The Crown Estate is in the early stages of designing future offshore wind leasing rounds, which this engagement event will inform, and there is currently no formal date for the launch of the procurement which may consist of one or more leasing rounds. Therefore, the date set out below ("Engagement deadline") refers to the engagement event, rather than the contract notice for any subsequent leasing tender process.
