In plain English
Highland Council is buying green hydrogen gas (produced to international standards) and the equipment needed to supply it across the Highland region. This is a major infrastructure contract for clean fuel production and distribution.
What the buyer wants
• Supply green hydrogen gas meeting ISO 14687:25 specification standards • Provide associated equipment (compressors, storage, distribution infrastructure) throughout Highland Council's area • Deliver hydrogen for multiple different applications and end users
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This £30 million contract is far beyond what small trades can bid for alone. You would need to be an established hydrogen producer with industrial-scale facilities, significant capital investment, specialist engineering expertise, and the ability to build and operate major infrastructure across a region. Most small building, cleaning, or maintenance businesses cannot compete.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
