This tender by the Connected Places Catapult presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in research and development services related to hydrogen technology to engage in a high-value procurement process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this tender. The focus on innovation and collaboration within a consortium of partners makes this procurement ideal for businesses looking to showcase their capabilities in the hydrogen supply chain and access potential further support from the HII partners. ## Notice Connected Places Catapult, acting as a partner of the Hydrogen Innovation Initiative, is looking to procure results from a near term demonstration which meets the themes of the vision articulated in the specification and has allocated a budget of up to PS50,000 for the procurement and dissemination of these results.
