HSE require the supply of liquid hydrogen for use during a research test programme. A quantity up to of 2.4 tonnes is required for each delivery. HSE does not have any existing storage facility for LH2 and has previously relied on the rental of the supply trailer units. HSE are looking for a similar arrangement, aiming to retain the supply for a period of eight weeks after each delivery to connect to HSE's equipment. Five deliveries are required between 2026 - 2028. The liquid supply is required for use at the HSE Buxton (SK17 9JN) test site. HSE Science & Research Centre has hand on experience of handling LH2 trailers from multiple previous research campaigns. Following expressions of interest, further information regarding the projects and the nature of the experiments can be shared.

| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | Gases | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 24. The category anchor is Gases (24100000); 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.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 24 | 507 | 4 median · 63.5 average (184 of 507 with a bid count) | 5.6 average (204 of 507 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 5 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 167 | 8.5 median · 150.7 average (64 of 167 with a bid count) | 10.2 average (68 of 167 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 38 | 5 median · 5 average (1 of 38 with a bid count) | 1 average (1 of 38 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
