Call for tender: legal analysis of CCS in accordance with the Helsinki Convention

The Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM), an intergovernmental organization (IGO) focused on the protection of the Baltic Sea environment, seeks two qualified legal consultants or firms:

1. One to undertake an independent primary legal review to assess the compatibility of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities with the Helsinki Convention.
2. One to provide an independent second-opinion review of the primary analysis.

This legal analysis will support HELCOM’s policy discussions on CCS in the Baltic Sea region. Applicants may submit tenders for either the primary legal review or the second-opinion review, or both. However, a single entity will not be awarded both assignments to preserve the independence of the reviews. Applicants must clearly indicate in their submission for which assignment they are applying.

Deadline: 15 October 2025, 23:59 EET
