This procurement falls under the research and development services category and is located in the United Kingdom. Currently active, it is part of an open procurement process designed to appoint a contractor who can deliver a programme to demonstrate and de-risk hydrogen use for heating in residential and commercial settings. The contract period is set to commence on 22 November 2017 and conclude by 31 March 2021. The tender published on 11 July 2020 offers a total budget of £4,300,000, with a final submission deadline having previously been set for 24 August 2017. This opportunity presents substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in programme management, technical consultancy, or research and development in hydrogen technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability of their expertise for the diverse packages outlined in the procurement. With a focus on developing hydrogen quality standards, appliance testing capabilities, and trialing hydrogen appliances, firms with relevant technical knowledge and experience in energy and heating solutions would be strong contenders for this project. ## Notice Modification Notice Original description: BEIS intends to appoint a programme management contractor (PMC), with required programme and technical expertise, to manage and deliver a programme to demonstrate and de-risk the use of hydrogen for heating in GB homes and businesses. The programme will support and inform future policy analysis and understanding of the potential for hydrogen use to contribute to meeting the UK's 2050 carbon targets. The programme is intended to complete by end of March 2021 and consist of 9 packages: (1) Programme management (2) Definition of a hydrogen quality standard (3) Establishing an appliance and equipment testing capability (4) Development of domestic hydrogen appliances (5) Understanding commercial appliances (6) Understanding industrial appliances (7) Assessment of suitability of existing buildings (8) Trialing hydrogen appliances in unoccupied buildings (9) Preparations for occupied consumer trial. For background, full specification and further information please see the ITT. Description of the modifications This variation is for extra resource for technical advice & prog mgt of WP delivery and oversight, and the cessation of WP9 activities. Previous variations were: + CR01 Smart Hydrogen Meter variation (PS300,000) + CR02 Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) (PS449,929.85) Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: Change of contractor cannot be made due to being 3 years into programme of work; handover to another supplier would involve significant high-risk, and duplication of costs. E.g. on the QRA safety work where extensive technical analysis has already been done on the safety case that is being put together for trialling hydrogen in homes. Introducing a new contractor would also have serious timing impacts, and prevent the programme being finished on time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4565f8cf-f5a5-43ea-bd53-6ea315b8927b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Nov 2017 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY (BEIS) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 11 Jul 2020 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4565f8cf-f5a5-43ea-bd53-6ea315b8927b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4565f8cf-f5a5-43ea-bd53-6ea315b8927b 11th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=506734386 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
