What is being bought

HSE require a liquid hydrogen flow conditioning module for use during a research test programme. The flow conditioning module should be able to produce a flow of cryogenic gaseous hydrogen at a set flow rate (between 30 - 400 g/s) and temperature (between 25 - 50 K). It is envisaged that the majority of the vaporisation could be achieved by use of a heat exchanger. This can be electrically powered and use direct contact or a medium (air, water or another fluid) as the heat exchange medium. For fine temperature control, the system can could use ambient temperature gaseous hydrogen injected into the flow through a control valve. The system should include a control loop which takes a signal of outlet temperature as an input to modify the heat input into the cryogenic flow. A Q&A drop in session for regarding this tender will be held on 23/02/2026 at 10:00 GMT Please respond VIA In-tend for invitation details. Full description and diagrams available on in-tend

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Industrial process control equipment (38810000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
