two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) Contract
two.1.2) Main CPV code

two.1.4) Short description
The HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline will be Cadent's first 100 per cent hydrogen pipeline at scale.
The pipeline forms part of the wider HyNet scheme, whose primary objective is to reduce the regional CO2 omissions.
The pipeline will provide a hydrogen transportation network required to enable the UK's first fully integrated hydrogen supply network.
It is anticipated that there will be approximately 90km of new underground HP steel pipeline and 35km of associated customer connection spurs from 10 new Hydrogen Above Ground Installations (HAGI's).
The project will deliver Phase 2 of the hydrogen network and is designed to enable early adopters to receive hydrogen and interlinks with hydrogen production and storage facilities.
Cadent is looking to identify a economic operator, which may include a joint venture or consortium to deliver the full EPCC contract.

The pipeline is considered a National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and shall be delivered in line with the Development Consent Order (DCO), which is currently being progressed.
The project will deliver Phase 2 of the wider HyNet scheme and is designed to enable early adopters to receive hydrogen and interlinks with the Hydrogen Village and the Phase1b Hydrogen Pipeline as part of a wider Hydrogen Scheme.
The proposed Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) strategy and scope of works will include:
- Secure the required contractor capability and expertise to plan
and deliver the delivery phase of the project, including
engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning.

Stage 1 Detailed engineering, long lead procurement and early
works including environmental mitigation and surveys.
Stage 2 Completion of procurement, construction and
commissioning.
- Allow a smooth transition from Front End Engineering Design
(FEED) to Detailed Engineering and into execution, in order to
mitigate risk.
- Complete Detailed Engineering during the DCO consultation
(pre-Final Investment Decision to enable the construction
schedule and start-up / commissioning in 2025 for the
Hydrogen Village interacting project (see below) and 2027 for
the Phase 2 Network.
- Co-ordinate and deliver the Hydrogen Village Pressure
Reduction System works within the same Stanlow HAGI through
Detailed engineering procurement and construction.
- Allow collaboration on selected Contractors' environmental
and local content delivery strategies to meet the Cadent's high
