The project, awarded on 29th July 2025 and published on 5th August 2025, aims to further explore hydrogen monitoring methods and their technological readiness levels. The contract, awarded to NPL, is valued at £87,261 and will run from 18th August 2025 to 16th February 2026, covering regions including the UK, Channel Islands, and several international territories. The procurement was executed under a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 17th August 2025.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for organisations specialising in innovative monitoring methods within the hydrogen sector. Businesses proficient in delivering high-quality research and development services, particularly in environmental and technological spheres, stand to gain significantly from engaging in similar future contracts with the Environment Agency.
