This procurement falls under the industry category of gas generators and is currently in the Award stage, having been completed on 9 May 2016. The tender was open until 26 January 2016, and the subsequent contract period started on 10 May 2016, concluding on 30 June 2016. The estimated contract value is £30,000, with a minimum bid threshold of £5,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of gas generation equipment, particularly those specialising in hydrogen solutions. Companies with experience in delivering reliable hydrogen generators, especially those capable of operating efficiently under variable conditions, will be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The successful bidder for this tender was PerkinElmer LAS (UK) Ltd, which indicates a demand for high-quality products and services in this sector. ## Notice The Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) is Britain's leading industrial health and safety facility. Operating as the Science Directorate of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), HSL supports HSE's mission to protect people's health and safety by ensuring risks in the changing workplace are properly controlled. Hydrogen generators are used at HSL to eliminate hydrogen gas lines and cylinders and supply high purity hydrogen to test equipment. For the purposes of this invitation to tender it is necessary for HSL to be open and fair to possible sources that believe they can meet these requirements and may submit a tender. The Health & Safety Laboratory is inviting tenders for the supply of Hydrogen Generator(s) suitable for providing hydrogen to up to three hydrogen flame photometers. Each photometer can run for up to 10 hours a day, and requires a flow of 400 to 600 millilitres per minute of hydrogen at a pressure of 1 bar. Depending on the work required, the photometer can be out of use for several months at a time; during this time, the hydrogen generators will be switched off. At start of new work, the generators will be switched back on. Previous experience of running our flame photometers using hydrogen generators of an earlier design was unsuccessful, as the necessary stop/start operation caused the generators to fail. This will need to be avoided. A supply of deionised water is available, but it will not be possible to pipe this to the hydrogen generators; they will need to be topped up by hand. The reservoir must be of sufficient size to run the hydrogen generators for at least 5 hours under the use described above. Additional information: Contract start date is estimated subject to approval and award. HSL has applied broad estimates in the lowest and highest value fields in the 'Summary Information' section. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f94b223-63d3-4dbd-a410-ed8a63a72547 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jan 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Dec 2015 | | Contract period | 9 May 2016 - 30 Jun 2016 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,024 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HEALTH & SAFETY EXECUTIVE | | Locality | BUXTON | | Post town | Stockport | | Postcode | SK17 9JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | High Peak | | Electoral ward | Burbage | | Westminster constituency | High Peak | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PERKINELMER LAS (UK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42980000 - Gas generators ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f94b223-63d3-4dbd-a410-ed8a63a72547 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f94b223-63d3-4dbd-a410-ed8a63a72547 30th December 2015 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/277f9fd1-7604-42fe-adfe-44d3a1022955 Tender Documents ## Notice URLs - http://www.hsl.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
