The procurement process is led by Eiffage Kier JV HS2 Main Civils Works, Lots C2 & C3, for the project titled "EKFB JV - Seeding Works - G2S," which falls under the landscaping work industry category. This tender encompasses landscaping works for roads and motorways, specifically targeting the Greatworth to Southam (G2S) section of HS2. The procurement stage is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for submission set for 25th February 2026. The contract period will commence from 1st September 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2029. The procurement method involves traditional seeding and hydroseeding techniques across various gradients, embankments, and cuttings, as per HS2 specifications, with the supply of seed mix being a responsibility of the contractor. Areas covered include British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, with a contract value ranging from £5,000,000 to £10,000,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth particularly for specialist contractors in the landscaping sector since it involves large-scale seeding works along important infrastructure projects such as HS2. Businesses equipped with expertise in traditional seeding and hydroseeding as well as those capable of managing large quantities of varied seed mixes over diverse terrains will find this tender attractive. However, it is noted that suitability for SMEs and VCSEs is not indicated, suggesting the procurement could be more aligned with larger firms. The project demands a comprehensive understanding of landscaping for transportation infrastructure, thus presenting a chance for companies experienced in such works to expand their portfolio through association with a prominent national project.
