The scheme aims to transition the bus fleet in Wales to hydrogen-powered vehicles, starting in Swansea with the potential expansion to Bridgend. The Pilot Scheme is scheduled for late 2025/early 2026, spanning a potential three to five-year period. The buyer seeks a provider of 'green' hydrogen to fuel the hydrogen buses, expecting re-fuelling facilities at both pilot locations. Businesses involved in the production and supply of 'green' hydrogen, along with those in the transport and alternative fuels sectors, would find significant growth opportunities in bidding for this tender. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, offers a chance for providers to contribute to sustainable transport initiatives and expand their market presence in the public transportation sector. Interested parties must engage electronically via the specified submission methods and prepare to meet the upcoming deadlines for economic and technical selection criteria submissions. ## Notice The Welsh Government, in partnership with Transport for Wales, are establishing a Hydrogen Bus Pilot Scheme as part of their plans to transition the existing internal combustion engine bus fleet in Wales. The Pilot Scheme will include the implementation of 20 hydrogen buses on selected routes within the County of Swansea with the potential to include a further 30 hydrogen buses servicing selected routes within the County of Bridgend. The Pilot Scheme is due to commence approximately late 2025/early 2026 (date to be confirmed) and will cover an initial three year period (with the potential to cover a five year period). The Welsh Government are seeking to appoint a provider of 'green' hydrogen that will provide the required level of hydrogen to fuel the hydrogen buses utilised under the Pilot Scheme. It is an expectation that the hydrogen will be made available for a re-fueller at both pilot locations; Swansea and Bridgend. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Welsh Government, in partnership with Transport for Wales, are establishing a Hydrogen Bus Pilot Scheme as part of their plans to transition the existing internal combustion engine bus fleet in Wales.
