Crown Estate Scotland is seeking Programme Management Support for its Cables and Pipelines Portfolio, with an emphasis on managing 44 subsea cable and pipeline agreements. The procurement is currently in the completion stage, with the tender having been awarded to Powis Hughes Ltd on 28 January 2021.
