## Summary

The Crown Estate is conducting a procurement process titled "Future Offshore Wind - Market Questionnaire November 2025," aiming to gather input from stakeholders involved in offshore wind development. As part of the planning stage, this market engagement process is targeted at offshore wind developers and investors across the United Kingdom. Participants can respond to the questionnaire from 21 November 2025 until the deadline on 19 December 2025. This initiative is part of The Crown Estate's strategy to design future offshore wind leasing rounds, focusing on development, construction, and operation of offshore wind farms. Key locations encompass various regions in the UK, and the procurement category is primarily services related to electricity, wind turbines, wind farms, and construction-related services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in offshore wind technologies to influence future leasing designs and potentially secure roles in upcoming rounds. Companies involved in electricity supply, wind turbines, and construction-related services are particularly well-suited to benefit from this engagement. By participating, businesses can align themselves with The Crown Estate's vision for sustainable energy development, positioning themselves for future growth within the renewable energy sector. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest promptly, providing strategic insights that could shape the portfolio of projects managed by The Crown Estate.

## Notice

The Crown Estate, as managers of the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, periodically holds competitive tenders to award seabed rights for the development, construction and operation of offshore wind farms. In September 2024, The Crown Estate set out its approach to bringing such future tenders to market in its Future of Offshore Wind publication (https://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/our-business/marine/future-offshore-wind). This was alongside a report setting out our ambition to develop a Marine Delivery Routemap, to help enable a more holistic approach to seabed development in the future. As with previous leasing rounds (e.g. Offshore Wind Leasing Rounds 4 and 5) The Crown Estate will engage with a variety of stakeholders to shape the design of its future leasing. As part of this, The Crown Estate is undertaking market engagement through a questionnaire to gather input on the design of future leasing rounds, with a focus on the next leasing round. This questionnaire is targeted at offshore wind developers and investors only and will be open to responses from 21 November 2025 to 19 December 2025. If offshore wind project development and investment companies wish to participate in this engagement, then they should apply by sending an email to offshorewind@thecrownestate.co.uk. We reserve the right to engage with offshore wind developers and investors only i.e. those who may be interested in bidding in a leasing round, either as a sole bidder or as part of a consortium. The Crown Estate will engage with other categories of stakeholder at appropriate times and in an appropriate way. The Crown Estate is in the process of designing future offshore wind leasing rounds, which this questionnaire will inform. There is currently no formal date for the launch of the next offshore wind leasing round. The date set out below (the "Engagement deadline") refers to the engagement activity, which is the subject of this PME Notice, rather than any contract notice for a leasing process.
