## Summary

The tender entitled "Establishing Best Available Techniques (BAT) for hydrogen production from electrolysis of water" is currently being procured by the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs in the United Kingdom. This project falls within the environmental services category and is at the "Tender" stage, with a tender period ending on 8th October 2021. The total contract value is set between £25,000 and £50,000, with the contract start date anticipated on 15th October 2021 and running until 31st March 2022. The procurement is being conducted via a direct method, specified as a single tender action due to being a below-threshold procurement.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, particularly those knowledgeable about hydrogen production technologies and environmental regulations in the UK. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, aligning their expertise in sustainable practices with the objectives of this procurement. Companies that can demonstrate innovative approaches to developing Best Available Techniques (BAT) in hydrogen production will find a suitable avenue for growth through this tender.

## Notice

UK Environmental Regulators currently permit hydrogen production activities and it is our role to ensure that permits include appropriate measures to protect the environment. We do this by considering Best Available Techniques (BAT) at the permit determination stage, attaching conditions to the permits we issue, and by monitoring compliance with those conditions. Where there is no relevant existing BAT Reference documents, UK Environmental Regulators hold responsibility for development of such BAT for these installations which will be permitted under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales) 2016, Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012, and Pollution Prevention and Control (Industrial Emissions) Regulations (NI) 2013. We therefore wish to appoint a consultant to identify Best Available Techniques for hydrogen production from electrolysis of water (at all industrial scales anticipated) which are available for deployment in the UK. Additional information: Please follow the instructions given in the request for quotation pack and apply directly to the buyer.
