Erebus by Blue Gem Wind Procurement Approach
Erebus by Blue Gem Wind hosts supply-chain engagement for Celtic Sea floating offshore wind project
Issued 6th October 2026 Aberdeen: At Floating Offshore Wind 2026 in Aberdeen, Erebus by Blue Gem Wind has opened supply-chain engagement for its Celtic Sea floating offshore wind project.
Erebus by Blue Gem Wind is inviting businesses across the Welsh and UK offshore wind supply chain to engage with its emerging procurement approach. Early engagement will give suppliers greater visibility of potential project requirements, while helping the project team understand the capability, capacity and investment needed across the supply chain to support delivery.
Potential opportunities are expected to span manufacturing and fabrication, ports and logistics, vessels, engineering and construction, electrical infrastructure, technology, and operations and maintenance.
David Groves, Procurement Director at Erebus by Blue Gem Wind, said: “We want to engage with the supply chain early, openly and meaningfully. The Celtic Sea has the potential to support significant new industrial and supply-chain opportunities, and understanding the market will be an important part of developing our procurement approach. Floating Offshore Wind 2026 is a great opportunity to engage directly with the supply chain. We want businesses to tell us what they can offer, where they see opportunities and what they need from the project to invest, grow and participate.”
The project team will engage with suppliers, ports, industry organisations and other stakeholders to understand existing capability, identify potential supply-chain gaps and explore opportunities for businesses to participate in the project.
