Wind Tenders and Contracts

Most of it comes from seabed leasing rounds and the projects that follow them, such as Dogger Bank, Morgan and Outer Dowsing: marine surveys, environmental impact assessments, port and grid infrastructure, and supply chain and market engagement studies. Direct turbine or wind farm construction contracts are less common and mostly appear at the local, onshore level instead.

Stotles brings together wind tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Offshore wind buying is mostly consultancy, survey and port work, with port operators and government departments commissioning studies and developers running preliminary market consultations.

Marine survey work needs a marine licence where required and must follow environmental impact assessment rules, and offshore workers need recognised safety training such as GWO. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar commissions at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Wind buying is consultancy, survey and advisory work, often multi-lot frameworks or CCS Research and Insights dynamic purchasing system call-offs. Seabed leasing bodies and devolved governments buy repeatedly, as do port operators, colleges, enterprise agencies and Irish public bodies.

Read net zero and energy strategies, infrastructure investment plans, framework renewals and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show wind work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Wind notices carry 31121320 (Wind turbines), 76521000 (Offshore installation services), 76520000 (Offshore services) and 31121340 (Wind farm).
