AO10 Environmental Impact Assessment

Drafting, Support, and Compilation of Documents Required for the Submission of a Unique Authorization Application – Projects in Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) or Public Maritime Domain (DPM)
This involves the preparation of environmental impact study files, Natura 2000 impact assessments, and requests for derogation concerning protected species, as well as support during the examination and consultation phases, all the way to the issuance of authorization for an offshore wind project.
The specifications will concern 11 zones distributed across three French maritime façades:
Façade 1: English Channel-North Sea
Façade 2: South Atlantic + North Atlantic-Channel West
Façade 3: Mediterranean
It will include allocation rules limiting the number of projects that can be awarded to a single Producer. Candidates will be evaluated by façade and must indicate the façade(s) on which they wish to apply.
Candidates will need to demonstrate their ability to address the identified themes and expertise necessary for the successful completion of the unique authorization request. This ability can be justified independently or within a consortium. If expert consultancy support is required for certain themes, that need should be specified.
Note: EDF Power Solutions is still awaiting the final specifications from the State, and the contract may be subject to minor revisions as a consequence.
