## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a central government public authority located in Merseyside, has announced a planned procurement process for the supply of gaseous hydrogen for an experimental programme at their Buxton test site. This procurement falls under the goods category with a primary classification of gases, as per CPV code 24100000. The tender, titled "Gaseous Hydrogen Supply for Experimental Programme," is currently in the planning stage with an open procurement method, inviting competition below threshold limits. Key milestones include the future notice date set for 5th January 2026, with a tender period concluding on 2nd February 2026. Successful delivery is expected to occur between 1st March 2026 and 30th June 2028. HSE is seeking proposals that include questions and cost estimates by the end date of the tender period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the gas supply sector, particularly those capable of handling substantial quantities of hydrogen gas, as it involves supplying up to 800 kg of hydrogen per delivery. The procurement process is open and encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), facilitating growth and diversification in the supply chain. Businesses with expertise in integrating hydrogen supply into existing pressure reduction and flow management systems will find this tender particularly relevant. Additionally, the planned nature of this procurement allows companies to strategically prepare and tailor submissions to meet HSE's requirements, potentially establishing long-term partnerships in the public sector.

## Notice

HSE require the supply of hydrogen gas for use during a research test programme. The gas is intended to be used by piping into an existing pressure reduction system which will meter the gas through to a flow management system. Two deliveries are required between 2027 - 2028, each delivery may be up to 800 kg of hydrogen. The gas supply is required for use at the HSE Buxton (SK17 9JN) test site. HSE is seeking to understand the potential cost and implications of this supply. Suppliers should email tenders@hse.gov.uk with any questions and costs associated with supplying the above.
