## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is conducting a procurement process for the supply of gaseous hydrogen, intended for an experimental programme at their Buxton test site in the United Kingdom. The project is currently in the tender stage, with all tender documents accessible via the HSE In-Tend e-procurement portal. The tender closes on 6th March 2026, with a preceding enquiry deadline on 27th February 2026. The procurement follows open competition below the threshold, focusing on the central government public authority category with industrial gases as the industry classification. This tender requires two deliveries between 2027 and 2028 and includes the rental of a trailer for each delivery.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial gases to expand their clientele with a central government agency. Optimal bidders will need to demonstrate their ability to meet technical specifications, including hydrogen delivery pressure and flow requirements, at a competitive price. Companies capable of facilitating this specialised supply process, including those with technical expertise and equipment compatible with HSE systems, are well-suited to compete and leverage this contract for business growth. Engaging in this procurement process may further entrench suppliers within the UK government supply chain, promoting long-term business prospects in the 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. The supply should be at least 500 barg (approximately 800 kg, other pressures may be accepted) and be capable of a hydrogen flow rate of at least 0.4 kg/s. The supplier should provide technical details for the mass flow rate capability of the system. The supplier should provide details of interfaces with the system and any other equipment requirements. Two deliveries are required between 2027 - 2028. Please also include trailer rental in the quote, HSE expect to need to rent the trailer for a month for each delivery. The gas supply is required for use at the HSE Buxton (SK17 9JN) test site.
