| Objectives | This activity/service is purely desk-based, with Arup completing "Phase 1" over 3 months this is the upfront work that can be carried out in readiness for the full appliance procurement and development programme (Phase 2).Phase 1 is made up of:• Phase 1a ITT Development• Phase 1b PMO Design (running in parallel) to set up the management structure and processes for the eventual procurement and development programme.Arup were commissioned in July 2022 by SGN, as part of Ofgem"s HVT Stage 2 collaborative annexes, to project manage and deliver an assessment of the hydrogen appliance supply chain ahead of the 2025 start date. Arup undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the market delivering three reports across an eight-month period from July 2022-March 2023. These reports have expanded upon existing relationships with appliance OEMs to articulate current product development programmes and highlight the current development areas across the entire supply chain.Arup were again re-contracted with Cadent (as newly appointed leads of the collaborative Appliance Working Group) in April 2023, to deliver the "Business Case" to DESNZ on behalf of the GDNOs, detailing the need for further support for hydrogen appliance development.Arup can support this project as they have knowledge and understanding of:• Appliances, meters, and ancillary components through work on procurement and development on the HVT Appliance Supply Chain Assessment project and the Hy4Heat programme.• Key stakeholders: including DESNZ, GDNOs, appliance OEMs, trade bodies & technical consultants. This activity/service is purely desk-based, with Arup completing "Phase 1" over 3 months this is the upfront work that can be carried out in readiness for the full appliance procurement and development programme (Phase 2).Phase 1 is made up of:• Phase 1a ITT Development• Phase 1b PMO Design (running in parallel) to set up the management structure and processes for the eventual procurement and development programme.Phase 1a ITT DevelopmentThe development of ITTs is a significant step in progressing towards the proposed development programme, and Arup will be following a similar process that was successful during the delivery of Hy4Heat.The first is to define the scope. This will be based on robust survey data from NGN, NGNs consumer proposition and checked against those appliances currently already under development from OEMs. Arup will be taking the data compiled by the AWG and using this to define the scope for the ITTs.The second and most significant step is for the development and writing of the ITTs. Taking the feedback and learnings from Hy4Heat, this will include:· A bespoke technical specification, providing the technical requirements for the Tenderer, including information regarding certification and testing. This work will be supported by Kiwa as the technical leads on this project.· A scoring system from which the Tender response will be scored against.· Confirmed T&Cs for procurement. This will be dependent on the contracting entity confirmed for Phase 2 of the programme.Arup believe that with the appliances confirmed for development, that four or five different procurement events would be necessary. Phase 1b PMO DesignArup"s approach to design and mobilise the PMO is based on industry best practice and standards (P3O®, MSP®) and Arup"s experience in designing, establishing, and managing the PMO for the Hy4Heat Programme. Arup propose a four stages methodology.This will be a natural continuation of the work that Arup has conducted on behalf of the AWG, which has seen delivery of timely, high-quality deliverables for the GDNO"s stage 2 HVT submissions, and ongoing collaboration across AWG and wider industry stakeholders.Arup will follow an iterative process to design a PMO fit for purpose in each of the project stages, and able to immediately support the HVT project teams. Arup envisage a number of key PMO activities spanning across Phase 1 and 2. In addition a robust plan & delivery structure for the subsequent, larger "Phase 2" programme must be established.These activities will involve:· Arup will collate & interpret the appliance survey data from all I&C (Industrial & Commercial) properties in the Redcar area, in addition to a significant sample of the survey data from domestic properties.· Arup will, in parallel, draft the various ITTs & technical specs for all categories of hydrogen appliances required (determined by the survey data)· Arup will propose a PMO design for the subsequent Phase 2 programme.· General engagement with the relevant stakeholders (GDNOs, DESNZ, and British Gas) via meetings throughout the duration of the contract.General engagement with OEMs to maintain insight into the readiness & of potential of various appliance types. | |
| Abstract | The primary activity within this project is the drafting of ITTs (Invitation to Tender) for the development of the various hydrogen appliances that will be required to enable a successful village trial in Redcar (due to deploy in 2025/26). This will involve the collation and interpretation of all survey data, from both domestic & non-domestic properties in the Redcar trial area, before detailing the variance and volume of hydrogen appliances required and transferring this into formal ITTs.A secondary activity will be the planning of the full "Phase 2" programme, which would involve oversight of a ~2 year development programme.The project is split between Cadent (as appointed leads of the collaborative appliance working group) and NGN (as leads of the Redcar village trial). | |
