two.1.4) Short description

Warwick District Council (WDC) is looking to be a catalyst for developing a low carbon hydrogen economy in the area including the development of a green hydrogen hub, as the means by which the council's low carbon objectives can ultimately be delivered. We wish to engage with organisations interested in opportunities to lead on the development, delivery and operation of the low carbon hydrogen hub, working alongside the council.

The Council has also made an ambitious commitment to ensure that all of its contracted services are net-zero carbon by 2030. We would like to engage with suppliers to establish to what extent market could contribute to the delivery of a hydrogen hub in the District and how that could help to achieve this ambition along with wider carbon reductions for the District's communities and businesses.

We are currently exploring options regarding a range of potential contract types or delivery arrangements and would welcome feedback from the market on this. As well as exploring private sector funding through this exercise, we will consider Council funding to support this project, along with grants and subsidies available though government schemes.

Premarket Engagement will be operated as virtual meetings via MSTeams. It will be organised for w/c 24th April. Exact time for meetings to be confirmed. Suppliers will be awarded a place on a first come-first basis. The Council may choose to include additional event times depending on response. As a premarket engagement exercise, non-attendance of a premarket engagement meeting does not preclude a Supplier from participating in the future procurement opportunity, or disadvantage them in anyway. Any additional information disclosed to suppliers by the Council during the premarket event will be published on the portal.

If you are interested in receiving the tender documents and bidding for this work, please visit www.csw-jets.co.uk and register to express interest in this project.

To attend this event please submit a correspondence requesting attendance by no later than 5pm Friday 31st April 2023 and you will be offered a date and time for acceptance, as well as be sent the questions to review ahead of meeting.
