Tender Round 6 (TR6) for the grant of three offshore transmission licences

This concerns the proposed grant of three offshore transmission licences to successful bidders to connect three offshore wind farms to the GB onshore grid. TR6 consists of Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm, Hornsea Project One Offshore Windfarm and East Anglia ONE (the Projects). The tender process will consist of two stages for each Project: an Enhanced Pre-Qualification (EPQ) stage and an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage, resulting in selection of preferred bidders. Bidders who qualify at the EPQ stage will 'passport' into the ITT stage for all Projects which it has indicated it will participate. Where the maximum number of qualified bidders has not been reached for a Project, an additional EPQ stage may be run. Any bidder wishing to participate in the EPQ stage for any Project or in an additional EPQ stage, if held, must express their interest as per the requirements in the EPQ documentation.
