## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently conducting an open procurement process titled "Hydrogen supply chain technical evidence and modelling tool." This project falls within the research services industry category, with its primary aim to enhance understanding of the technical-infrastructural requirements for low carbon hydrogen infrastructure. The tender was published on 16th January 2017, and submissions are due by 13th February 2017. The resulting contract is set to commence on 6th March 2017 and conclude by 14th August 2017, with delivery locations spanning the UK and other British territories.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in research services, particularly those with expertise in energy systems and modelling tools. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete for this tender, which seeks a contractor capable of analysing costs and assessing evidence for hydrogen infrastructure across various sectors, including residential and industrial. Winning this contract could propel business growth by positioning the selected contractor as a key player in the burgeoning low carbon energy sector.

## Notice

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is seeking to appoint a contractor (or contractors) to collate and assess a range technical evidence on the hydrogen supply chain and develop a modelling tool that can analyse the costs of hydrogen infrastructure. The main aim of this project is to improve our current understanding of the technical-infrastructural requirements, and associated energy system costs, for a transition towards a reliance on low carbon hydrogen to meet the demand for heat. This will involve (1) collating and assessing the evidence base and (2) developing a modelling tool. The primary focus of this work will be to assess hydrogen infrastructure evidence for heat in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The tool should also be able to incorporate the appropriate functionality to allow it to model geographical demands.
