This tender process is set to commence with an expected project start date of 1st April 2021 and will last for twelve months. Interested parties should note that the engagement period concludes on 24th March 2021. NPL, located in Teddington, England, is looking for a sub-contractor to assist in designing and producing two prototype devices that will undergo field testing. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research and development, particularly those specialising in measuring instruments, industrial process control equipment, and related consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process has been designed to accommodate their capabilities. Engaging with this tender could enhance a business's portfolio, allow collaboration with leading technical teams, and open pathways to commercialisation within the rapidly evolving hydrogen technology market. ## Notice NPL are developing a low cost online hydrogen quality sensor based on recently developed sensor technology. We are seeking a sub-contractor to work in partnership with NPL's technical team as part of a government funded project to design and produce two prototype devices for field testing, and support plans for subsequent commercialisation. The project is expected to start on the 1st April 2021 with a duration of 12 months.
