## Summary

The current procurement process is led by CADENT GAS LIMITED. The tender, titled "HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) Contract", falls under the industry category of Construction work. It is located in North West England and is currently in the active stage. The key deadline for tender submission is on January 16, 2023.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for companies in the construction and engineering sectors. The project involves the construction of a 100 per cent hydrogen pipeline network, supporting the UK's hydrogen supply infrastructure. Businesses with expertise in engineering, construction, and pipeline design are well-suited to compete in this selective procurement process. The opportunity requires economic operators to demonstrate an annual turnover greater than £500,000,000.

## Notice

The HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline will be Cadent's first 100 per cent hydrogen pipeline at scale. The pipeline forms part of the wider HyNet scheme, whose primary objective is to reduce the regional CO2 omissions. The pipeline will provide a hydrogen transportation network required to enable the UK's first fully integrated hydrogen supply network. It is anticipated that there will be approximately 90km of new underground HP steel pipeline and 35km of associated customer connection spurs from 10 new Hydrogen Above Ground Installations (HAGI's). The project will deliver Phase 2 of the hydrogen network and is designed to enable early adopters to receive hydrogen and interlinks with hydrogen production and storage facilities. Cadent is looking to identify a economic operator, which may include a joint venture or consortium to deliver the full EPCC contract.
