## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero commissioned offshore wind port capacity analysis. The work concerns analysis services to assess the capacity of ports supporting offshore wind development, helping central government understand available infrastructure and its ability to support the sector. The buyer is a UK central government department based in London. The awarded supplier is ORE Catapult Development Services Limited, based in Blyth, Northumberland. The requirement is a specialist professional service rather than construction, equipment supply or port operation. Businesses with expertise in offshore wind, port infrastructure, capacity assessment and evidence-based analysis would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to produce clear analysis for a government client. The procurement covered one completed requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. ORE Catapult Development Services Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £34,000 excluding VAT and £40,800 including VAT. The award covers analysis services for the single requirement concerning offshore wind port capacity. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no scored evaluation criteria or competing bids are reported. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is the buyer and contracting authority.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the procurement shows a focused demand for specialist analysis linking offshore wind development with port capacity. A credible competitor for comparable work would need a strong understanding of offshore wind supply chains, ports and infrastructure constraints, together with the ability to assess capacity rigorously and present findings in a form suitable for central government decisions. Relevant experience should cover analytical studies, evidence gathering, interpretation of technical and operational information, and concise reporting for policy or investment planning. The selected supplier’s role indicates that the buyer values specialist sector knowledge and an established capability to deliver a self-contained professional analysis assignment rather than physical works or operational port services.
