This procurement opportunity is related to the deployment of floating offshore wind infrastructure in the Celtic Sea, focusing on towing operations from Q1 2024 to Q3 2025. The deadline for tender submissions is 26th February 2024, and the award period ends on 8th March 2024. The procurement falls under the category of services and is aimed at businesses providing research and development services, marine research services, and marine engineering expertise. This tender by the Milford Haven Port Authority offers an opportunity for businesses in the marine services industry to participate in the development of floating offshore wind projects in the Celtic Sea. Companies with expertise in providing towing simulation services, marine research, and engineering consultancy are well-suited to compete in this tender. The project location is in Pembrokeshire, and businesses looking to expand their presence in the marine energy sector could benefit significantly from engaging with this contracting opportunity. ## Notice In the context of the deployment of floating offshore wind (FLOW) power generating infrastructure in the Celtic Sea, the transit of fully constructed integrated FLOW turbines along the Milford Haven waterway represents a challenge for the port and those charged with their safe movement. The Port also needs to demonstrate these transits are possible and in a safe manner which does not jeopardise any fixed assets, cargoes or berthed vessels.The Port is implementing a Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) towing programme from Q1 2024-Q3 2025. This will build on background work already undertaken such as a swept path study (air and water draft) and towing trials undertaken in the Port's own pilot training simulator. The purpose of the programme is to explore the constraints, challenges and opportunities associated with the towing of FLOW turbines on the Haven Waterway. Towing operations are likely to be required for Pembroke Port to play a role in the construction of FLOW turbines to then be deployed in the Celtic Sea.The services are comprised of three elements:A. Building a 3D model of the Haven environment complete with objects (see below)B. Undertaking a simulation programme following the construction of the model.C. Employment of the simulator to deliver a training course (course content to be delivered by the Employer).Please see tender link for full details: https://mhpa.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/O365Tenders/EoUNLqgwIKJLogb0Tn1bN8gBp9jl2t0OMpwpQFjITeCvlA?e=fH3zO5NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=138674.
