## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive, based in Buxton, England, has completed a procurement process for the supply of a Hydrogen Generator, essential for gas chromatographic applications. The tender, titled "Supply of a Hydrogen Generator," was initially published on 9 November 2015. This procurement fell under the goods category, classified with CPV code 42980000 for gas generators. The tender period ended on 30 November 2015, leading to the contract's start on 4 January 2016, with an estimated value between £3,000 and £20,000, and a contract duration through to 31 March 2016.

This awarded contract presents a growth opportunity for businesses in the industrial and laboratory equipment sector, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the stringent requirements for hydrogen generation equipment. Suppliers capable of providing high-purity hydrogen generation systems for gas chromatography would be particularly well-positioned to compete in this market. With the growing emphasis on health and safety, businesses offering innovative solutions and meeting the regulatory standards may find substantial demand in similar procurement processes.

## Notice

The Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) is Britain's leading industrial health and safety facility. Operating as an agency of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), HSL supports HSE's mission to protect people's health and safety by ensuring risks in the changing workplace are properly controlled. The Health & Safety Laboratory are inviting tenders for the supply of a Hydrogen Generator suitable for gas chromatographic (GC) applications. Hydrogen generators are used at HSL to eliminate hydrogen gas lines and cylinders and supply high purity hydrogen to GC equipment as both carrier gas and for flame ionization detectors (FIDs). They are also used to supply hydrogen to standalone FIDs. Existing hydrogen generators are used to supply up to four GC instruments. For the purposes of this invitation to tender it is necessary for HSL to be open and fair to possible sources that believe they can meet these requirements and may submit a tender. Additional information: Contract start date is estimated subject to approval and award. HSL has applied broad estimates in the lowest and highest value fields in the 'Summary Information' section.
