## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Liquid Hydrogen Flow Conditioning Module for Experimental Programme". This process falls under the industry category of industrial process control equipment and is intended to be delivered in the United Kingdom, specifically at the HSE Buxton test site in Merseyside. The procurement method is open, conducted as a below threshold open competition, with the tender period set to end on 2nd February 2026. Communication with suppliers can begin as early as 5th January 2026 with the contract period expected to run from 1st March 2026 to 31st March 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial equipment manufacturing, particularly those capable of designing innovative solutions for hydrogen flow conditioning. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer cost-effective manufacturing solutions or who have expertise in cryogenic and gas flow systems may find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging with this procurement could facilitate business growth through collaboration with a central government public authority, offering a chance to expand into government contracting and develop advanced technologies within the renewable energy sector.

## Notice

HSE require a liquid hydrogen flow conditioning module for use during a research test programme. The flow conditioning module should be able to produce a flow of cryogenic gaseous hydrogen at a set flow rate (between 30 - 400 g/s) and temperature (between 25 - 50 K). Liquid hydrogen will flow into the conditioning module in which the liquid hydrogen will be vaporised and temperature controlled. A supply of gaseous hydrogen is available to mix and heat the liquid flow if required, though a suitable design will reduce the flow requirements of ambient temperature hydrogen. A supply of water is also available as a heat exchange medium if required, or other heat exchange fluid may be used The equipment is required for use at the HSE Buxton (SK17 9JN) test site. HSE is seeking to understand the design of potential solutions and the associated costs of manufacturing this equipment. Suppliers should email tenders@hse.gov.uk with any questions and costs associated with supplying the above.
