Scope

Description

The Crown Estate is evolving its approach to managing strategic portfolios in the marine environment - including ports, infrastructure, aquaculture, coastal assets, minerals extraction, transmission cables, subsea telecoms cables, and oil & gas infrastructure and pipelines - to ensure resilience, sustainability, and value creation for the long term.

We currently work with Managing Agents to deliver a range of services across these portfolios. As our priorities evolve, we are reviewing how these services are structured and delivered to optimise efficiency, clarity, and customer experience. Your insights will help us shape a framework that works for both TCE and the market.
