Tender information last checkedLast checked 26 Sept 2026, 15:42.

Opportunity overview

The main purpose of the contract is a services concession contract. The Crown Estate, as manager of the seabed around England, Wales and Northern Ireland, is seeking to award seabed rights to a developer for the development of an offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea, which has an maximum potential energy generation capacity of 1.5GW. These rights will be governed by a 10 year ‘agreement for lease’, which will be awarded to a successful bidder through a competitive tender process under the Procurement Act 2023. The holder of the agreement for lease will acquire the rights necessary to develop an offshore wind farm and will ultimately have the option to enter into lease with The Crown Estate for the construction and operation of this wind farm, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions detailed in the agreements for lease. The maximum contract value has been stated in this notice as [00000 GBP] as The Crown Estate is unable to state a maximum contract value for the Morgan tender which is the subject of this Tender Notice, due to the impossibility of predicting what the likely overall value of the concession to the developer will be. Should suppliers wish to formally request access to the Morgan Procurement Specific Questionnaire, they may do so by registering on The Crown Estate’s e-tending portal via this link: https://etendering.thecrownestate.co.uk. The Crown Estate reserves the right to refuse to grant or to deny access at any time to the portal, to any person that The Crown Estate considers, in its absolute discretion, does not have a genuine intention to participate in the Morgan tender as either a sole bidder or a consortium member in order to secure seabed rights in respect of a the Morgan site.

Planning and budget

No Engagement Notice Rationale
The Crown Estate held a webinar on 25 June 2026 for offshore wind developers and investors. The webinar, which was advertised by way of a planned procurement notice (notice identifier 2026/S 000-053731), was held online and was open to attendees registered in advance. The purpose of the webinar was to: (i) provide attendees with a summary of the current status of the site; (ii) provide an overview of the proposed tender design; and (iii) share updates on the commercial approach proposed to be used in respect of the Morgan site. The webinar did not constitute market engagement within the meaning of section 16(1) of the Procurement Act 2023. Accordingly, no preliminary market engagement notice was published in connection with the webinar.
