This procurement is classified under the industry category of pressure-measuring equipment and involves an open procedure for tenders. The tender period concluded on 9 March 2022, and the contract is set to commence on 8 December 2022, running until 9 December 2022. This initiative has been co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund to enhance research and innovation in green energy solutions, particularly at the University’s Translation Energy Research Centre located in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber, England. This procurement opportunity is significant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in the development of hydrogen technologies, test equipment, or related services. Businesses with expertise in goods related to pressure measurement, humidity control, and innovative energy solutions would be particularly well-suited to pursue this tender. This contract not only offers a chance to contribute to cutting-edge research in renewable energy but also presents the opportunity to establish a partnership with a leading academic institution in a rapidly evolving industry. ## Notice With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield has established a flagship national Translation Energy Research Centre (TERC) - a multi-technology, integrated platform for research, development and innovation at pilot-scale, to understand and demonstrate green energy solutions for a secure, affordable and sustainable energy system. It is one of the largest and best-equipped research and development facilities in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, CCUS and combustion. The facility is equipped with a number of hydrogen generating and consuming pilot-scale facilities used to further innovative large scale research and green solutions. To complement this, we aim to procure a hydrogen fuel cell tests station. It will be used to investigate the impact of the operating conditions (i.e. the temperature, pressure, gas composition and humidity) on single fuel cell or small fuel cell stacks. It will be also used to investigate the effect of the new materials and/or designs on the fuel cell performance. This is an EU open exercise.
