Enabling offshore wind port development and investment

Description

Palladium as the delivery partner for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) funded UK Partnering for Accelerate Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme invites you to submit a quotation for the services detailed in this RFQ. The Philippines is scaling up offshore wind to meet ambitious renewable energy targets, with upcoming auction rounds expected to unlock significant capacity. As the sector advances, attention is shifting toward enabling infrastructure particularly ports, which are critical for construction, staging, installation, and long-term operations. While initial assessments by partners such as ADB and GWEC have focused on public ports, the scale of planned deployment requires expanded port capacity and stronger private sector participation. However, there remains limited clarity on how to structure offshore wind port development to attract investment that is technically viable, commercially sound, and aligned with Department of Energy (DOE) deployment timelines. UK PACT, working with DOE and other agencies, seeks to address this gap by supporting privately led port development and strengthening decision-making, investment readiness, and early market engagement. This intervention will be delivered in two phases. Phase 1 will establish the foundations for private sector participation by drawing on UK experience, developing a Private Offshore Wind Port Development Framework, and identifying and prioritizing suitable port locations particularly in areas such as South Mindoro and Negros Occidental based on technical suitability and readiness. Phase 2 will undertake detailed technical and commercial feasibility assessments of three shortlisted sites, including infrastructure requirements, cost and financial analysis, environmental and regulatory considerations, and market validation Interested suppliers/consortia are encouraged to review the RfQ documentation and submit your proposal in accordance with the instructions above by the Close Date and Time.
