The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, and the location is at Culham Science Centre, Abingdon, United Kingdom. The industry category is gas compressors under the 'goods' procurement category.

This tender from the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority presents an opportunity for manufacturers/suppliers of hydrogen compressors. Businesses involved in gas compressors or energy storage technologies would be well-suited to compete in this procurement. The initiative aims to engage suppliers for an energy storage project, creating a chance for business growth and collaboration with UKAEA. Relevant dates and deadlines for expressions of interest should be closely monitored to participate effectively in the tender process.

## Notice

The HyDUS initiative is an energy-storage demonstration project in which UKAEA is a key collaborator alongside other organisations. The technical process requires a hydrogen compressor to recover high-purity hydrogen from initial pressures down to ~0.1bara and compress it for storage at 10-20 bara. UKAEA are seeking to engage with manufacturers/suppliers of hydrogen compressors to understand the operating requirements and abilities of these units. Expressions of interest are sought via this Prior Information Notice
