## Summary

Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) has conducted a procurement process for the "Offshore Wind Port Options Scoping Study" aimed at facilitating infrastructure provisions for offshore wind projects. This open procedure tender was completed on 24 July 2019 and was held in Edinburgh, UK. The study was intended to identify opportunities and priorities concerning port infrastructure types, including manufacturing, construction marshalling, and operations. The tender was awarded to supplier Arup, with a contract value of £88,750, signed on 6 September 2019.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs and firms with expertise in infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, and project facilitation, particularly in the energy sector. Companies proficient in identifying and enhancing infrastructure capabilities within the offshore wind domain are encouraged to engage. The study's findings could lead to further commercial prospects in improving port and harbour functionalities, thereby influencing project competitiveness for potential bidders.

## Notice

The scoping study will catalogue opportunities for Crown Estate Scotland to influence infrastructure provision at any stage of offshore wind projects which will enable project competitiveness and supply chain opportunity. The study will identify the priorities within the three different types of port infrastructure (manufacturing & Fabrication, Construction Marshalling & Laydown and Ops & Maintenance), detail out the current situation with provision of ports/harbours and identify possible opportunities for improvement which Crown Estate Scotland could influence through investment, enabling activities, facilitation or in its role as a landlord.
