Gaseous Hydrogen Pressure Reduction Station for Experimental Programme
Description: HSE require a gaseous hydrogen pressure reduction station for use during a research test programme. The PRS will be connected to a bulk hydrogen supply up to 500 barg. The PRS should be able to produce a flow a gaseous hydrogen at a set flow rate (20 - 300 g/s). The PRS will be connected to a vent stack, pressure relief and isolation systems, which will be installed by HSE before the system is used for experiments. The PRS should be instrumented with pressure and temperature upstream and downstream of the regulation, and a mass flow meter. The equipment is required for use at the HSE Buxton (SK17 9JN) test site. HSE is seeking to understand the design of potential solutions and the associated costs of manufacturing this (read more...)
Summary: The Health and Safety Executive is seeking proposals for the design and potential supply of a Gaseous Hydrogen Pressure Reduction Station as part of an experimental programme, with the facility to be deployed at their Buxton test site. This tender is categorised under industrial process control equipment and is in the planning stage, with an open competition procurement method. Important dates include the end of the tender period on 2nd February 2026 and the future notice date set for 5th January 2026. The contract period is slated to commence on 1st March 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2027. As a central government public authority, the Health and Safety Executive is positioned to assess innovation in industrial control processes under the scheme reference 2023/54.
