## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in the UK is undertaking a tender for the development of standards pertaining to hydrogen ancillary devices and components. The title of the project is "Development of hydrogen ancillary device and component standards," which falls under the professional services category for the gas industry. This procurement is currently at the award stage with an active contract signed on 20th August 2021, valued at £445,000. The British Standards Institution (BSI) has been appointed as the supplier to establish a series of Publicly Available Specification (PAS) standards for ancillary hydrogen gas devices used downstream of the emergency control valve in hydrogen applications, with the services delivered nationwide in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in energy services, particularly those specialising in gas appliances, metering, and related engineering solutions. Companies with expertise in the development, installation, and maintenance of gas systems are well-suited to participate in future tenders or collaborations emerging from this initiative, especially as the market for hydrogen and sustainable energy solutions continues to expand in response to evolving industry standards and regulations. Businesses that can contribute innovative solutions and align with the technical requirements set forth by the BSI are likely to find valuable partnership prospects in this dynamic sector.

## Notice

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) intends to appoint the British Standards Institution (BSI) to develop a series of Publicly Available Specification (PAS) standards for ancillary hydrogen gas devices and components used downstream of the emergency control valve (ECV) in hydrogen end-use applications.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

BEIS requires a series of PAS standards to be developed by BSI to codify guidance and specifications for ancillary hydrogen gas devices and components used downstream of the ECV in hydrogen end-use applications. BSI will undertake a standards mapping exercise and industry stakeholder workshop to define the scope and requirements of the PAS standards to be developed. The series of PAS standards will cover functional and test requirements for hydrogen gas metering, material requirements for ancillary components and devices for use with hydrogen, and functional and test methods for complex ancillary components and devices for use with hydrogen.

### Procurement Information

The British Standards Institution (BSI) is nationally and internationally recognised as the author and owner of standards and other supporting literature for the installation, operation and maintenance of gas appliances and systems downstream of the Emergency Control Valve (ECV) in the United Kingdom (UK). No other body can codify the standards in this area. No other economic operator can provide the service of setting standards in this area, with the specific property of universally recognised and accessible record of an approach that represents good business practice.
