According to the update from the Dutch government on 3 November, the IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta tender will comprise ecology-related stipulations, similar to the previous tender(s) for Hollandse Kust West sites VI and VII that have been awarded to a consortium of Shell and Eneco (site VI) and RWE (site VII) .

For IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta, aside from the financial offer and assurance the projects will be realised, the government will also take into account the extent to which a proposal takes circularity, environmental impact and value retention into account in the design, construction, operation and decommissioning of the offshore wind farm.
