The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender value of £25,000,000 GBP. The deadline for tender submission is 7th March 2024 at 16:00 GMT, and the award period starts at 17:00 GMT on the same date. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender aims to establish a Hydrogen Bus Pilot Scheme in Swansea and Bridgend with a 15-year hydrogen supply contract. This tender presents a significant business opportunity for providers of green hydrogen who can meet the requirements of fuelling hydrogen buses in the designated locations for the Welsh Government's pilot scheme. Businesses involved in hydrogen fuel production and distribution, particularly those focusing on sustainability and long-term commitments, are well-suited to compete. The procurement process is designed to transition the existing bus fleet to cleaner energy sources and offers a 15-year contract with potential for renewals every 5 years, providing lasting opportunities for sustainable business growth in the hydrogen energy sector. ## 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 approximately 20 hydrogen buses on selected routes within the County of Swansea with a further 23 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). 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. The hydrogen contract will be for 15 years, with break clauses at years 5 and 10. ### 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.
