This initiative is currently in the planning stage and covers various categories of hydrogen generation and fuelling infrastructure, with a total estimated value of £425 million over a period of 60 months. Interested suppliers can access more information through a provided link, with opportunities available across the UK. The indicative communication for further notices is set for September 10, 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the hydrogen and electric vehicle sectors, as well as those involved in recycling electric vehicle batteries. Companies that specialise in hydrogen production and supply, infrastructure development, and electric vehicle charging solutions would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers offering managed services or innovative technologies in these areas may find promising prospects to grow their business within the public sector market. ## Notice The Council invites organisations to participate in a 60-month DPS across a number of categories for hydrogen generation and fuelling infrastructure. The DPS will be accessible by the Council and members of TPPL. The DPS may be used by all Contracting Authorities throughout all administrative regions of the UK (as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015) including but not limited to Government Departments and their Agencies, Non-Departmental Public Bodies, Central Government, NHS Bodies, Local Authorities, Emergency Services, Coastguard Emergency Services, Educational Establishments, Registered Social Landlords and Registered Charities who have a need to purchase the above services.
