This procurement, classified under the hydrogen industry category, is currently in the planning stage. It aims to support the government’s low carbon hydrogen production goals by securing hydrogen storage facilities. The procurement process includes market engagements beginning from late 2024 to mid-2025, with the first meeting set for 11th December 2024 at 9:30 am. This opportunity spans multiple regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, with a key engagement deadline on 31st August 2025. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in geological hydrogen storage and associated services to engage with DESNZ and potentially influence the procurement strategy. It offers unique prospects for companies specialising in professional services for the gas industry, gas storage, and construction for the oil and gas sector. While not specifically targeting SMEs or VCSEs, the initiative encourages large and experienced players in the field to participate through various engagement activities such as surveys, focus groups, and supplier meetings. Companies that secure contracts can benefit from contributing to a pivotal infrastructure project that supports the UK's clean energy ambitions. ## Notice OPEN EARLY MARKET ENGAGEMENT - this means that a procurement idea is currently active. It is in the early stage of development and judging interest from potential suppliers. Hydrogen storage infrastructure will be critical in supporting the government's low carbon hydrogen production ambitions and the mission to achieve clean power by 2030. To enable this in the near term, hydrogen storage at scale will be required. To support this ambition, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has started early strategic planning for a procurement or procurements for rights to store hydrogen in geological storage facilities, and support in remarketing/reselling those rights to end users. The Department intends to commence early engagement with a range of potential suppliers in the geological hydrogen storage market to help inform the procurement strategy in a collaborative manner. We will be conducting a series of early market engagement activities between late 2024 and mid-2025 which may include but are not limited to: - Surveys and questionnaires - 1 to 1 meetings - Focus groups - Supplier days - Webinars We intend to hold a first meeting with interested suppliers on 11th December at 9.30am (subject to change). Feedback from suppliers of hydrogen storage via these activities will help inform thinking and shape a future procurement strategy. If you are interested in this potential opportunity, DESNZ would like to engage with you. Please contact the Department by emailing hydrogenstoragebusinessmodel@energysecurity.gov.uk with your company details, including high level information about your storage facility project. *** This is early market engagement for a potential opportunity. The Department is not obligated to run a procurement following this activity and is not liable for any costs associated with participating in this early engagement. *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e2aabee-9be3-4bb4-80ba-ea5daf165fe7 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Aug 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DESNZ | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2EG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 24 - Chemical products - 45 - Construction work - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services - 76 - Services related to the oil and gas industry ### Codes - 24111600 - Hydrogen - 45255000 - Construction work for the oil and gas industry - 63121110 - Gas storage services - 76100000 - Professional services for the gas industry ## Release History - 21 Nov 2024 at 15:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e2aabee-9be3-4bb4-80ba-ea5daf165fe7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e2aabee-9be3-4bb4-80ba-ea5daf165fe7 21st November 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hydrogen-transport-and-storage-networks-pathway Hydrogen transport and storage networks pathway ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
