## Description

POSEIDON \(Planning Offshore Wind Strategic Environmental Impact DecisiONs\) is a Crown Estate-funded project \(Offshore Wind Evidence & Change program \(OWEC\)\) led by Natural England\. The aim of the project is to provide tools to inform offshore wind planning, to minimise impacts on the natural environment through avoidance and early awareness of likely mitigation / compensation needs, allowing sustainable expansion of offshore wind\. This will be achieved through the collection of strategic environmental baseline data and updated spatial models for key species \(receptors\), assemblages, and a suite of ecological metrics \(diversity, functional traits\)\. These will be used to identify regions that are most vulnerable to offshore wind impact and mapping of the environmental risk to help guide future offshore wind development rounds and to feed into wider marine planning\. This procurement is sub-divided into 3 Lots as set out in the Specification of Requirements\. Tenderers must make clear which Lot they are bidding for\. Each Lot will be evaluated separately\. Lot 3 - Celtic Sea Lot 4 - Southwest Lot 5 - English Channel Note that Lot 1 \(North Sea\) and Lot 2 \(Irish Sea\) of this POSEIDON project were tendered and awarded earlier this year \(2022\)\.
