Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc), involved securing Parliamentary Agents for the HS2 Phase 1 & 2a. Classified under legislative services, the tender falls within the services industry category. The procurement was executed using an open procedure, with a total contract value of £850,000. The services are intended for broad geographical coverage, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe. The tender was completed, with awards announced in 2023 and the contract period running from 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2027.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for large firms experienced in legislative services and capable of offering solutions tailored for high-profile projects like HS2. The open procurement method facilitates competition, encouraging businesses with a strong presence in the legislative domain to leverage their expertise. Although identified opportunities are more aligned with larger enterprises, SMEs may still benefit by forming strategic alliances or sub-contracting to meet specific service delivery requirements associated with HS2. The involvement of prominent suppliers such as Winckworth Sherwood LLP and Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP highlights the demand for comprehensive legislative services in major infrastructure projects.
