What the buyer is looking for
The Annual Work Programme 2026 of the Clean Hydrogen JU foresees the launch of a call for tenders for a “European Clean Hydrogen Startup Hub” (hereafter referred to as “the Hub”) aiming at: “accelerating and accompanying the “translation” of research into investable start-ups, building the basis for scaling startups by connecting investment to hydrogen innovation with corporates as key enablers, and building and consolidating European Hydrogen Innovation Corridors. The initiative shall contribute to the European Commission’s planned Scale Up and Start Up strategy.” In line with the above description, the overall purpose of this tender is to support hydrogen startups and scaleups in bridging funding and technology barriers, to mature into commercially viable companies.

Tactics
When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually 12 or more bids came in. Many compete here — price and references decide. (Based on 4 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 90 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 34 (median of 3,233 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
The deadline falls on a Monday — your last full working day is the Friday before. Have evidence and guarantees together by Thursday.
