Request for Proposals | Consulting Services for Canadian Companies attending WindEurope 2026 Conference & Exhibition in Madrid, Spain
Marine Renewables Canada (MRC) invites firms to submit a proposal for consulting services to provide market intelligence, support, and matchmaking services for Canadian marine renewable energy companies (technology developers, project developers, utilities, consulting firms, and suppliers) who will be participating in the upcoming MRC mission to WindEurope 2026, taking place in Madrid, Spain from April 21-23, 2026. This mission is supported by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).
MRC is seeking a consultant that specializes in the marine renewable energy industry (specifically OSW) to provide market intelligence and help prepare mission participants leading up to the mission. The consultant will work with companies to identify opportunities and companies to connect with, both in advance of the mission and onsite at the conference/exhibition and facilitate those connections and B2B meetings onsite. The consultant’s initial focus should be providing pertinent OSW industry information (updates, insights on challenges and opportunities etc.), providing advice and tips on market strategy planning for each mission delegate receiving the service, and generally preparing each company to get the most from WindEurope 2026 and its associated activities. The consultant will also be responsible for assisting companies with both identifying and connecting with international delegates and companies during the mission.
To achieve these objectives, we are seeking a consultant that has the ability and experience to:
1) Assist with the business development objectives prior to and in-territory for Canadian companies participating in the MRC mission to WindEurope 2026.
2) Report on actions delivered and progress made, or successes achieved throughout the duration of the contract, with the reporting schedule to be determined and agreed upon by MRC and the consultant.
3) Provide a final report upon conclusion of the contract.
PROPOSALS are DUE on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 11:59 pm AT. It is anticipated that the contract would be awarded on January 9th and the successful contractor would begin work immediately.
Please email all proposals directly to Amanda White, Operations Director, Marine Renewables Canada: amanda@marinerenewables.ca
