## Summary

Crown Estate Scotland has awarded a framework call-off contract titled "Offshore Wind Supply Chain Assessment and Strategic Analysis" to Ernst & Young LLP (EY). The procurement process, now in the award stage, was conducted using an open procedure under the services category, with Edinburgh as the primary delivery location. The contract, signed on 22nd August 2025, supports the Crown Estate's offshore wind portfolio projects, related to the ScotWind and INTOG leasing rounds. This contract, estimated at £300,000 excluding VAT, is set to run for a minimum of three years, with potential extensions of up to two additional years.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses focusing on consultancy, research, and strategic analysis within the renewable energy sector, particularly those specialising in offshore wind projects. Firms with a strong track record in supply chain assessment and a capacity for strategic evaluations can benefit significantly from engaging with such high-profile projects administered by Crown Estate Scotland. The open procedure and allocation under Lot 6 of the CCS RM6187 Framework Agreement suggest potential accessibility for large consultancy firms and those familiar with government frameworks, despite the dominance of large established companies like EY in winning this contract.
