Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government - Commercial Delivery, involves the planned purchase of Green Hydrogen for a Hydrogen Bus Pilot Scheme. The scheme aims to transition the bus fleet in Wales to hydrogen-powered vehicles, starting in Swansea with the potential expansion to Bridgend. The Pilot Scheme is scheduled for late 2025/early 2026, spanning a potential three to five-year period. The buyer seeks a provider of 'green' hydrogen to fuel the hydrogen buses, expecting re-fuelling facilities at both pilot locations.

The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, offers a chance for providers to contribute to sustainable transport initiatives and expand their market presence in the public transportation sector.
