## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently conducting a tender for a project titled "Understanding the costs and technical potential of hydrogen for heat in the UK energy sector". This opportunity falls within the research services category (CPV code 73110000) and is located in the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 30th January 2017, with the contract period beginning on 20th February 2017 and ending on 30th June 2017. The procurement process is aimed at enhancing modelling capabilities related to hydrogen infrastructure.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in research, particularly those specialising in energy, infrastructure modelling, and environmental sciences. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project seeks expertise in assessing evidence for hydrogen supply chains and developing an infrastructure tool. Companies that can deliver high-quality research outputs and possess a strong understanding of renewable energy sources would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

BEIS is looking to improve its modelling capability in the field of hydrogen infrastructure modelling. In order to do so will require: 1. An assessment of existing evidence for the hydrogen supply chain 2. The development of a hydrogen infrastructure tool The first part of this project would gather evidence on all parts of the hydrogen supply chain, assessing the certainty we have in these assumptions for a UK context. The second part of this project will involve a hydrogen infrastructure tool. This tool must include the functionality to be able to model: Varied geographical and temporal demand Intermittency of renewable energy sources Transport and storage of resources This is likely to require: High level of temporal detail High level of spatial detail The final stage of this project will be to incorporate the evidence into the hydrogen infrastructure model. Please see the 11.2.14 - Additional Information section below for the next steps.
