Description

Modification Notice
Original description: BEIS intends to appoint a contractor(s) to deliver comprehensive research reports on the feasibility of converting commercial sector appliances (Lot 1) and industrial heat generation (Lot 2) from natural gas to hydrogen. This will require full characterisation of the market and identification of any knowledge gaps and barriers to conversion that may need to be addressed. They will inform consideration of whether further evidence, potentially in the form of practical testing, will be required to demonstrate that these sectors can be successfully converted as part of demonstrating and de-risking the use of hydrogen for heat in UK homes and businesses. This work is part of the Hy4Heat programme and will be managed and coordinated by Arup+, who have been appointed by BEIS as the programme management contractor for the Hy4Heat programme.
Description of the modifications
The contract for delivering services for WP5 had previously expired and was extended to 29 May 2020, by exchange of emails as formal agreement. Additional work: necessary data gathering from stakeholders, including a Freedom of Information (FoI) process, and subsequent data analysis to inform the research report.
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
This work related to data gathering via a FoI process from stakeholders, and subsequent data analysis to inform the research report. it was necessary as there had been poor uptake / response from stakeholder engagement / data gathering such that the data was incomplete / insufficient for the purpose of analysis / reporting.
