This tender, classified under the goods category, aims to enhance the multi-vector energy systems capability at the Power Networks Demonstration Centre in Glasgow, UK. Currently in the planning stage, suppliers are encouraged to express their interest within five working days from the publication date, which was on 12th July 2021. Future notices regarding this tender are anticipated by 30th August 2021. This opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses specialising in hydrogen technology, energy systems, and equipment manufacturing, including those offering turnkey solutions for hydrogen storage and supply. Companies with experience in gas detection, measuring instruments, and control equipment would also find this tender aligned with their capabilities. Engaging in this project not only allows participation in a cutting-edge sector but also offers potential avenues for future collaborations within the expanding field of renewable energy. ## Notice The University of Strathclyde seeks notes of interest from suppliers able to provide a turnkey hydrogen storage and supply solution that will be used to deliver hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems. This potential tender forms part of a larger expansion programme, enhancing the multi-vector energy systems capability within the Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC), one of the University of Strathclyde's off-campus Research & Development facilities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University is seeking notes of interest for a potential tender opportunity for a hydrogen supply and storage system in line with the criteria below. The tender's scope of works includes the supply, delivery, commissioning, ongoing support (UK based) and warranty of the following equipment. 1. The supply of a hydrogen storage and supply system capable of delivering hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems, in particular fuel cells. 2. The succesful succesful supplier will be expected to deliver all necessary equipment to the University on a turnkey basis, including any control equipment, connections, gas detection and shutoff systems, and data acquisition systems recording hydrogen flow and pressure accurately in real-time. 3. The system will be designed, installed and operating in line with the guidance of Code of Practice CP33 (The Bulk Storage of Gaseous Hydrogen at Users Premises) published by the British Compressed Gas Association. 4. The system shall be designed for an ambient temperature range of -25oC in winter and +40oC in summer. 5. The system shall be designed to accommodate Grade D hydrogen gas in line with ISO 14687:2019 (Hydrogen fuel quality -- Product specification). Hydrogen replenishment shall be achieved either by replacement of storage vessels or by refilling. In either case it will be possible to do this on site by an approved supplier. 6. The system shall include a programmable pressure and flowrate regulation system feeding the supply to the PNDC site. 7. The system will be mountable on a flat concrete plinth and shall be designed to be as compact as possible, ideally with a footprint of no greater than 12m2. 8. The system shall be capable of providing a minimum of 150kg of hydrogen storage capacity to the test site, at a maximum flow rate of 20 kg/hr, and at a pressure (into the equipment under test) of up to 20 bar. It is envisaged that the maximum continuous test duration is not likely to exceed 4 hours. 9. The system shall be designed so that it can be extendable in the future. Additional information: To be involved in pre-tender engagement, interested suppliers are asked to register their interest against this notice within 5 working days of its publication. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016227-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Aug 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1QE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38424000 - Measuring and control equipment - 38540000 - Machines and apparatus for testing and measuring - 38543000 - Gas-detection equipment - 38900000 - Miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments ## Release History - 12 Jul 2021 at 13:35 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016227-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=660372 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00113 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
