The programme will support and inform future policy analysis and understanding of the potential for hydrogen use to contribute to meeting the UK's 2050 carbon targets. The programme is intended to complete by end of March 2021 and consist of 9 packages: (1) Programme management (2) Definition of a hydrogen quality standard (3) Establishing an appliance and equipment testing capability (4) Development of domestic hydrogen appliances (5) Understanding commercial appliances (6) Understanding industrial appliances (7) Assessment of suitability of existing buildings (8) Trialing hydrogen appliances in unoccupied buildings (9) Preparations for occupied consumer trial. For background, full specification and further information please see the ITT. ### Description of the modifications This variation is for extra resource for technical advice & prog mgt of WP delivery and oversight, and the cessation of WP9 activities. Previous variations were: \+ CR01 Smart Hydrogen Meter variation (£300,000) \+ CR02 Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) (£449,929.85) Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: Change of contractor cannot be made due to being 3 years into programme of work; handover to another supplier would involve significant high-risk, and duplication of costs. E.g. on the QRA safety work where extensive technical analysis has already been done on the safety case that is being put together for trialling hydrogen in homes. Introducing a new contractor would also have serious timing impacts, and prevent the programme being finished on time.
