## Summary

The "SBRI Hydrogen Supply - Phase 2" procurement process is initiated by the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in London, England. This project falls under the category of Research and Development Services and related consultancy services. The tender period concluded on 23rd September 2019, with the contract period set to commence on 29th November 2019 and run until 31st March 2021. It is essential to note that this opportunity is exclusively available to those suppliers who participated in Phase 1 of the SBRI programme, with a total funding pool of up to £15 million allocated for pilot demonstrations, where each project can receive up to £7.5 million.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in hydrogen supply solutions or related technology sectors, particularly those that have previously engaged in Phase 1 of the SBRI. Enterprises specializing in research, engineering design, and process modelling would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as it seeks innovative solutions for hydrogen supply implementation and demonstration. The established networks from Phase 1 participants may also facilitate collaborations that enhance the credibility and technical capabilities of bidders, making it an advantageous opportunity for those looking to expand their business footprint in the sustainable energy sector.
