## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is currently in the planning stage of their procurement process for an "Online Hydrogen Quality Sensor" project, which falls under the measuring instruments industry. 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
