Notice Title

HS2 Project 745 - Life Cycle Assessment

Notice Description

HS2 proposes to engage the services of a supplier who can offer a Cloud Based Life Cycle Assessment solution and is inviting expressions of interest. HS2's objective is to put in place a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method for assessing the potential environmental aspects and potential aspects associated with the programme by: *Utilising an inventory of relevant inputs and outputs, *Evaluating the potential environmental impacts associated with those inputs and outputs, *Interpreting the results of the inventory and impact phases in relation to the objectives of the study. An LCA system is required as a tool to assess the environmental impacts of HS2's infrastructure products throughout its life cycle; from the extraction of raw materials through to processing, transport, use and disposal. There are four linked functions that we are keen to use the tool to deliver: *Goal definition and scoping: identifying the LCA's purpose and the expected products of the study, *Life-cycle inventory: quantifying the energy and raw material inputs and environmental releases associated with each stage of production; *Impact analysis: assessing the impacts on the environment associated with energy and raw material inputs and environmental releases quantified by the inventory; *Improvement analysis: evaluating opportunities to reduce energy, material inputs, or environmental impacts at each stage of the product life-cycle. The key objectives of the project are to source a system that can: *Calculate the environmental impacts of HS2 using Lifecycle Assessment. *Allow for data to be organised into a logical hierarchy for example, route-wide or asset, with further classification and categorisations and for results to be aggregated at different levels within this hierarchy. *Utilise LCI data which is representative of average UK construction and consistent with the BS EN 15804 requirements. *Calculate a range of LCI indicators as defined in the BS EN 15804 standard and required by BREEAM. *Analyse variations of a model to enable optioneering and allow the user to apply adjustments and analyse the results at any level within the model hierarchy. *Analyse trends over defined periods using check-pointed data in a repository at various level in the model hierarchy. *Produce ad-hoc reports compatible with the BS EN 15804 life cycle stages. *Be an intuitive and user friendly system. *Be modified and grown in the future without requiring extensive re-configuration or development. Expressions of interest should be emailed to the HS2 IT Procurement Manager, Stephen Mann, email: Stephen.mann@hs2.org.uk
