This procurement is in the open stage and follows the open procedure (above threshold) method. The tender is set to close on 3rd June 2019 at 12 noon UK time, with the contract period scheduled from 27th June to 28th June 2019. The project aims to integrate renewable energy generation equipment into a mini-grid system to support research and development in hydrogen utilisation as a fuel and energy source. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the renewable energy sector, particularly those specialising in hydrogen production and storage technologies. Companies that manufacture or supply fuel cells, electrolyser systems, or energy-related equipment would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the focus on a low carbon economy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions in clean energy technology may find this procurement particularly advantageous for business growth. ## Notice With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and is looking to procure and integrate into a mini-grid system a range of bioenergy and renewable energy generating equipment Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), fuel cells and electrolysers. Hydrogen is a fundamental element in the transition to low carbon (or hydrogen) economy and hydrogen generation will form a key part of the integrated infrastructure in the Centre. This capability will support R&D activities associated hydrogen utilisation as fuel and/ or energy store, and as a transformational feedstock. The hydrogen generated will be utilised: (i) as fuel for a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell and/or fuel-cell-based micro combined heat and power (CHP) systems; (ii) additive to conventional fuels for energy generation; and (iii) for carbon dioxide utilisation applications such as liquid/gaseous fuel generation. Therefore, as part of the equipment portfolio, we are looking to procure an electrolyser capable of generating >= 20 Nm3/hr (preferably >= 30 Nm3/hr) of Hydrogen and associated hydrogen storage of minimum 300Nm3/h. The closing date for tender returns is at 12 noon on 3rd June 2019 (UK time) Additional information: All tender documents, correspondence & tender returns must be conducted via the In-tend site, through the link provided above. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d64267f9-8ecb-45dc-9410-3c0f6d40146c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Sep 2019 | | Contract period | 20 Oct 2019 - 22 Oct 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £220,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £420,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S10 2TN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | Broomhill and Sharrow Vale | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PURE ENERGY CENTRE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 42 - Industrial machinery - 65 - Public utilities - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09000000 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 31122100 - Fuel cells - 42113390 - Fuel-gas systems - 65400000 - Other sources of energy supplies and distribution - 71314000 - Energy and related services ## Release History - 18 Oct 2019 at 15:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d64267f9-8ecb-45dc-9410-3c0f6d40146c - 7 May 2019 at 13:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80843dd2-482d-407a-b6b4-59a8d797aad4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d64267f9-8ecb-45dc-9410-3c0f6d40146c 18th October 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80843dd2-482d-407a-b6b4-59a8d797aad4 7th May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sheffield/aspx/Home In-tend e-tendering portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
