In September 2024, The Crown Estate set out its approach to bringing such future tenders to market in its Future of Offshore Wind publication (Future of offshore wind | The Crown Estate). This was published alongside a report setting out our ambition to develop a Marine Delivery Routemap, which is intended to help enable a more holistic approach to be taken in relation to seabed development in the future. With the announcement in March 2026 of our intention to launch a new leasing round in 2027 (Offshore Wind Leasing Round 6) and building on the approach taken by The Crown Estate in previous leasing rounds, such as Offshore Wind Leasing Rounds 4 and 5, The Crown Estate is committed to engaging with a broad spectrum of market participants and other stakeholders through a series of webinars and questionnaires in 2026 to inform the development of its Leasing Round 6 and future leasing processes. In this context, The Crown Estate intends to undertake further preliminary market engagement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, in relation to the design of Leasing Round 6 and future leasing rounds, through the following activity which is targeted at existing and prospective offshore wind developers and project investors only. Spatial design Webinar – Thursday 23rd July 2026. This is planned to be a live presentation from The Crown Estate Spatial Design team, sharing the next stage of our spatial design process and some related information. We intend to provide an opportunity for attendees to participate in a live question and answer session. We are considering also offering attendees the opportunity to provide written feedback on the content of the webinar through an online link shared after the event. Bilateral discussions with developers and investors up until close to the date of the Information Memorandum (IM) being issued for Round 6, which is planned for the first half of 2027. The Crown Estate intends to hold a series of bilateral meetings with offshore wind developers and investors on the developing market proposition for Round 6 from July 2026. As there is no firm date yet for the Information Memorandum, an interim deadline for this engagement has been set for the 28 February 2027. The intention is that the webinar and bilateral discussions will provide The Crown Estate with further opportunities to gather individual and industry-wide perspectives, thereby ensuring that the evolving needs and priorities of the offshore wind sector as a whole can be taken into account by The Crown Estate when shaping Leasing Round 6 and future leasing opportunities. This market engagement is intended for existing and prospective offshore wind developers and investors only, i.e. those who have the capacity and interest in bidding i... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/leasing-round-6-engagement-ocds-h6vhtk-06cf24) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 09310000, 31121320, 31121340, 45200000, 45315300, 71500000 - **Contract Period:** 19/07/2026 to 28/02/2027 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F068382-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-07-20T14:54:20.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T16:46:55.747Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06cf24
