Summary of the contracting process

High Speed Two (HS2) Limited has awarded contracts for the development of the railway track systems for the HS2 Project. This involves work across several critical disciplines, including the design, construction, commissioning, and testing of various railway components. The procurement process, which used a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold, concluded with the contracts being issued on 20th November 2024. The track systems encompass locations in London, East Midlands, and West Midlands, with contract work scheduled to commence on 3rd February 2025 and conclude on 14th January 2033, valued at GBP 1.957 billion. The main procurement category is works, specifically within the railway equipment industry.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in railway construction and associated services. Firms specializing in railway track construction, engineering design, signalling, communications, and track-laying vehicles stand to benefit. The collaborative nature of the awarded framework agreements means that businesses of all sizes—although in this case, the awarded suppliers are large-scale companies—can participate either directly or as subcontractors. Key suppliers such as STRABAG Rhomberg Sersa Joint Venture, Colas Rail Ltd, and Ferrovial BAM Joint Venture are central to this project, indicating a robust demand for expertise in railway systems.
