## Summary

The Environment Agency has recently completed its procurement process for the project titled "RDE818 Hydrogen monitoring and measurement: Evidence report to support the development," within the research and development consultancy services industry category. The project, awarded on 29th July 2025 and published on 5th August 2025, aims to further explore hydrogen monitoring methods and their technological readiness levels. The contract, awarded to NPL, is valued at £87,261 and will run from 18th August 2025 to 16th February 2026, covering regions including the UK, Channel Islands, and several international territories. The procurement was executed under a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 17th August 2025.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for organisations specialising in innovative monitoring methods within the hydrogen sector. Businesses proficient in delivering high-quality research and development services, particularly in environmental and technological spheres, stand to gain significantly from engaging in similar future contracts with the Environment Agency. While this particular award does not require small or medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger firms with established capabilities in developing evidence-based reports and advancing technological solutions will be well-suited for such contracts, fostering growth and expanding market presence.

## Notice
