## Notice

This is a Contract Award notice and as such this process is now complete. WES have appointed a supplier to act as an independent Third Party Advisor (TPA) to WES in relation to the engineering design activities for each of the four NWEC Stage 2 projects. The role of the TPA(Engineering) is to provide confidence in the outcomes of the four NWEC Stage 2 projects by providing an independent appraisal of the concept engineering and FEED activities undertaken.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Four Stage 1 projects have been selected to progress to Stage 2. The principal output of this contract will be four reports, each report providing a critical appraisal of an NWEC Stage 2 project's engineering design activities. This will be based largely on the outcome of the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of the full scale concept design, and, the Critical Design Review (CDR) for a small sea-going prototype. The purpose of the reports is to inform WES's evaluation of the engineering design workstream of each project, an evaluation which will consider the realisation of the Stage 2 Target Outcomes, and, the technical readiness to proceed to the detailed design, build, and testing of a small sea-going prototype in Stage 3.
