## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is seeking a contractor for the definition of a hydrogen quality standard as part of the Hy4Heat programme. The procurement is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on hydrogen research (CPV code: 24111600). The open tender process concluded on 11 October 2018, with the contract awarded on the same date to GL Industrial Services UK Ltd. (DNV GL) for a total value of £240,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 17 October 2018 to 7 September 2019, covering multiple locations, including the UK and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses engaged in research, development, and testing within the hydrogen sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in energy solutions, environmental consulting, or technologies associated with hydrogen production and utilisation would be well-positioned to explore similar contracts in the future. The contract's focus on developing standards for hydrogen appliances could lead to enhanced market demand and innovation in sustainable energy solutions, particularly for companies with expertise in this emerging field.

## Notice

The work will be managed and coordinated by Arup+, who have been appointed by BEIS as the programme management contractor for the Hy4Heat programme.
