What is being bought
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to conduct a soft market testing exercise to inform the nature and quantum of any support the Welsh Government could provide for the construction of a tidal range electricity generation project on the Welsh coastline. At this stage Welsh Government is undertaking market engagement to ascertain if there is interest in any potential competition/procurement in the future to deliver a tidal lagoon capable of generating electricity with the winner(s) possibly receiving financial support from the Welsh Government. To inform its approach to the competition, the Welsh Government wishes to engage with organisations interested in the delivery of tidal range energy projects on the Welsh coastline, prior to the Welsh Government formulating a preferred approach to the competition and support package. The purpose of the market engagement is to understand the most appropriate approach to undertaking the competition, and the package of support to be offered by Welsh Government. Responding to this PIN does not place any compulsion on applicants to enter the competition or for the Welsh Government to proceed any further with any requirements.

    The Welsh Government is considering how best it can support the market to develop a tidal range energy project on the Welsh coastline. The current preferred approach is to undertake a competition to identify suitable options. To inform its approach to the competition, the Welsh Government wishes to engage with organisations interested in the delivery of tidal range energy projects on the Welsh coastline, to gather information prior to the Welsh Government formulating a preferred approach to the competition and support package. Interested organisations (including potential developers, financiers and those with experience in the tidal range sector) should register their interest via the Sell2Wales Noted Interest function. Interested parties can view a copy of our market engagement documentation via the attachments section within this PIN. The market engagement documentation comprises an Introduction to the Welsh Government’s proposed competition objectives and a questionnaire which interested organisations should return via the Sell2Wales Post-box function, including details of any specific proposals, and any views or suggestions they may have on the sector as a whole. Following receipt of completed questionnaires, the Welsh Government may also undertake supplier sessions and meet with suppliers to discuss their market engagement feedback. Please be aware that at this stage we will not be formally assessing proposals, and nothing given or provided at this stage will be evaluated as part of any future procurement process. We welcome responses from suppliers and organisations who feel that they have positive ideas on how our vision of supporting the development of tidal range power projects in Wales can be delivered. While the contracting authority has decided to advertise on a voluntary basis, this does not represent a commitment to follow a particular procurement procedure. Interested parties shall obtain for themselves, at their own expense, all information necessary for the preparation of their responses to this PIN.
