## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) seeking contractors for research related to the conversion of commercial and industrial appliances to hydrogen as part of the Hy4Heat programme. The title of the contract is “Contractors for understanding commercial and industrial appliances (Hy4Heat work packages 5 and 6)”. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to hydrogen, and was initiated through an open procedure. The contract has been awarded with a total value of £382,062. The contract period commenced on 15th October 2018 and extends until 15th April 2019. The award notice for the contract was published on 25th October 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in energy conversion technologies, particularly those that specialise in hydrogen solutions or industrial equipment modification. Companies that focus on research and feasibility studies in energy sectors, as well as those with expertise in addressing market barriers and knowledge gaps, would be well-positioned to compete. Given the growing emphasis on transitioning to sustainable energy solutions, providers capable of contributing to the research necessary for the successful conversion of natural gas applications to hydrogen will be in a strong position for future contracts in this area.

## Notice

BEIS intends to appoint a contractor(s) to deliver comprehensive research reports on the feasibility of converting commercial sector appliances (Lot 1) and industrial heat generation (Lot 2) from natural gas to hydrogen. This will require full characterisation of the market and identification of any knowledge gaps and barriers to conversion that may need to be addressed. They will inform consideration of whether further evidence, potentially in the form of practical testing, will be required to demonstrate that these sectors can be successfully converted as part of demonstrating and de-risking the use of hydrogen for heat in UK homes and businesses. This work is part of the Hy4Heat programme and will be managed and coordinated by Arup+, who have been appointed by BEIS as the programme management contractor for the Hy4Heat programme.
