Summary of the contracting process

SMC JV, the Siemens Mobility and Costain joint venture, is procuring specialist safety, health and environmental services for contract HRS03, which covers high-voltage power services for HS2 Ltd. The requirement supports the HS2 high-speed railway connecting London and Birmingham, with work delivered across London, the West Midlands and the South East. The scope covers ecology, arboriculture, town and country planning, undertakings and assurances, waste management, water resources and flood risk, noise and vibration, air quality, archaeology and heritage, carbon, occupational health, occupational hygiene, physical security and fire engineering. This is a multi-disciplinary professional services requirement. SMC JV may divide the disciplines between multiple suppliers to secure the best combination of quality and value.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: SMC JV has invited suppliers to submit offers. Tender submissions were due by 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The proposed contract period runs from 31 March 2027 to 27 September 2033. The estimated value is between £2,500,000 and £5,000,000, in total for the procurement. It is a services requirement covering urban planning, waste analysis, air quality management and noise-control consultancy. The opportunity is presented as a tender for specialist suppliers, with the detailed scope and specifications to be provided to successfully shortlisted suppliers. SMC JV may award different disciplines to more than one supplier rather than appointing a single provider for the entire requirement.

This opportunity suits suppliers with the internal capability to deliver one or more specialist SHE disciplines on a major, long-term high-speed rail infrastructure project. Relevant businesses include environmental consultancies, planning practices, engineering specialists and providers of occupational health, occupational hygiene, physical security, fire engineering, waste, water, carbon, air quality, noise, archaeology, ecology or arboricultural services. Suppliers should be able to assess their capacity before expressing interest and demonstrate that they can undertake the intended scope at HS2 scale. The disciplines may be split across several suppliers, creating potential routes for organisations focused on particular areas as well as firms able to coordinate several services. The requirement is not identified as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
