This opportunity, identified as tender ID UOS-21028-2021, is part of a broader expansion programme aimed at enhancing the multi-vector energy systems capability within the Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC). Interested suppliers should register their interest by 30 August 2021 to be considered for this contract. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the renewable energy and supply chain sectors, particularly those specialising in hydrogen technologies and system engineering. Companies that can provide comprehensive solutions for hydrogen storage and management, alongside ongoing support within the UK, would be well-suited to compete. By engaging with this project, suppliers can gain access to the growing market for hydrogen energy systems, supporting the transition towards more sustainable power solutions. ## Notice The University of Strathclyde seeks notes of interest from suppliers able to provide a turnkey hydrogen storage and supply solution that will be used to deliver hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems. This potential tender forms part of a larger expansion programme, enhancing the multi-vector energy systems capability within the Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC), one of the University of Strathclyde's off-campus Research & Development facilities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University is seeking notes of interest for a potential tender opportunity for a hydrogen supply and storage system in line with the criteria below. The tender's scope of works includes the supply, delivery, commissioning, ongoing support (UK based) and warranty of the following equipment. 1. The supply of a hydrogen storage and supply system capable of delivering hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems, in particular fuel cells. 2. The succesful succesful supplier will be expected to deliver all necessary equipment to the University on a turnkey basis, including any control equipment, connections, gas detection and shutoff systems, and data acquisition systems recording hydrogen flow and pressure accurately in real-time. 3. The system will be designed, installed and operating in line with the guidance of Code of Practice CP33 (The Bulk Storage of Gaseous Hydrogen at Users Premises) published by the British Compressed Gas Association. 4. The system shall be designed for an ambient temperature range of -25oC in winter and +40oC in summer. 5. The system shall be designed to accommodate Grade D hydrogen gas in line with ISO 14687:2019 (Hydrogen fuel quality -- Product specification). Hydrogen replenishment shall be achieved either by replacement of storage vessels or by refilling. In either case it will be possible to do this on site by an approved supplier. 6. The system shall include a programmable pressure and flowrate regulation system feeding the supply to the PNDC site. 7. The system will be mountable on a flat concrete plinth and shall be designed to be as compact as possible, ideally with a footprint of no greater than 12m2. 8. The system shall be capable of providing a minimum of 150kg of hydrogen storage capacity to the test site, at a maximum flow rate of 20 kg/hr, and at a pressure (into the equipment under test) of up to 20 bar. It is envisaged that the maximum continuous test duration is not likely to exceed 4 hours. 9. The system shall be designed so that it can be extendable in the future.. To be involved in pre-tender engagement, interested suppliers are asked to register their interest against this notice within 5 working days of its publication. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL421024 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Aug 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G1 1QE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38424000 - Measuring and control equipment - 38540000 - Machines and apparatus for testing and measuring - 38543000 - Gas-detection equipment - 38900000 - Miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments ## Release History - 12 Jul 2021 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL421024 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL421024 Hydrogen supply and storage system for the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems. - The University of Strathclyde seeks notes of interest from suppliers able to provide a turnkey hydrogen storage and supply solution that will be used to deliver hydrogen to support the component and sub-system testing of hydrogen-based power systems.
