## Summary

The Hydrogen Supply Programme, led by the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy department, seeks to identify and test innovative approaches for supplying low-carbon hydrogen. This £20 million procurement initiative is designed to enhance confidence in the supply of low-carbon hydrogen across various sectors including industry, power, heat, and transport. The programme is currently in the award stage, with key dates including the end of the tender period on 5 December 2018, and a contract period running from 1 January 2019 to 1 July 2021. The process follows an open procedure below the threshold, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate in four distinct lots valued between £250k and £500k.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on low-carbon technologies, engineering, and related consulting services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), along with larger firms, are encouraged to compete, particularly those with innovative solutions at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 to 7. The participation of third-sector organisations is also welcomed, provided they join in consortia with private companies. This tender not only aims to stimulate the low-carbon hydrogen market but also fosters growth and collaboration among diverse sectors, making it an advantageous opportunity for companies looking to expand their business horizons.

## Notice

This PS20m programme will identify and test innovative approaches to supplying low-carbon hydrogen, and help grow the market. Low carbon hydrogen could play an important role in decarbonising industry, power, heat and transport. However, for a market to grow, potential users (in any application) need to be confident in the supply of sufficient amounts of low carbon hydrogen at a competitive price. The PS20 million Hydrogen Supply programme aims to accelerate the development of low carbon bulk hydrogen supply solutions in the above sectors. It is aimed at projects at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 to 7, which could result in lower capital or operating costs when compared to Steam Methane Reformer with Carbon Capture & Storage (SMR+CCS), or improve the capture rates at a comparable cost. The programme is now live. If you are interested in applying, please see the guidance document, application form and finance form below. The deadline for potential applicants to register their interest is 21 November 2018, and the deadline to submit proposals is 5 December.The competition is divided into four lots of phases, values as follows Lot 1 - PS2m total, up to PS500k per project Lot 2 - PS2m total, up to PS500k per project Lot 3 - PS500k total, up to PS250k per project Lot 4 - PS500k total, up to PS250k per project Additional information: How to Apply If you wish to take part in this procurement please see the attached Tender documents attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to industry.innovation@beis.gov.uk as stipulated in the "Who to Contact" section.
