## Summary

The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) Ltd is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Housing Unit for PEM Electrolyser." This procurement falls under the marine energy generation industry and is located in Orkney, UK. The authority is seeking rough quotes and smart solutions for a housing unit to cover a control unit and electrolyser, with key specifications detailed in the tender documents. A future notice date for further communication about this tender is set for 15 April 2019.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing modular units, specifically those that can meet safety regulations for hydrogen systems and environmental considerations pertinent to Orkney’s severe weather conditions. Companies with expertise in modular construction, engineering solutions, and those able to deliver on the specified requirements, including ventilation and pipework accommodation, are encouraged to participate in this process to enhance their business growth potential.

## Notice

We are looking for a housing unit to cover a control unit and electrolyser. The control unit has a foot print of a 20-foot container and the electrolyser will have a foot print of a 40-foot container. The current plan is that the control unit and electrolyser will go along side the current set up at site (1.4.2 Site Layout). The housing will only enclose the new control unit and electrolyser, there must be enough room around the control unit and electrolyser to allow maintenance work to be completed. There will also be a need for ventilation and areas to allow pipework to pass through. We are looking for smart solutions and rough quotes for this work at this time.
