Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfT) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "MARKET ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY – HS2 Parliamentary Agents Phase One and Phase 2a." This opportunity falls under the legal services category (CPV Code: 79100000) and pertains to services related to the High-Speed Rail projects in the UK. Interested suppliers are invited to virtual engagement sessions on 10th and 11th November 2021 to discuss contract requirements, with an expression of interest deadline set for 8th November 2021, 17:00. The meetings will be limited to three attendees from each organisation, and prior registration is required on the DfT Jaggaer Portal.

This tender offers significant opportunities for legal firms specialising in legislative services and parliamentary advisory roles, particularly those experienced in transport infrastructure projects. With the DfT aiming to combine existing legal provisions into a single contract that encompasses both Phase One and Phase 2a of HS2, businesses with proven capabilities in advising on land acquisition, planning matters, and compliance are highly suited to compete. Engaging with the DfT at this stage could also provide valuable insights into future opportunities, making it a strategic move for firms looking to expand their portfolio in public procurement.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Department is reliant on the advice and expertise of Roll A Parliamentary Agents (PAs) to ensure the necessary post Royal Assent commitments and processes in relation to the Phase One Act and the Phase 2a Act are satisfied in an effective and timely manner. Without such advice, there is likely to be an adverse impact in meeting the key timescales for the acquisition of land, planning matters, appeals, and Undertakings and Assurances. There are currently two separate contracts in place. The Phase 2a contract is due to expire in August 2022, with options to extend to October 2022 and then a further extension to December 2022 if needed, and the Phase One contract expires at the end of March 2023. The DfT is looking to engage with Roll A Parliamentary Agent suppliers on the procurement of a new contract that will combine the provision of legal services for the High-Speed Rail Phase One and Phase 2a schemes. The DfT will be holding engagement sessions for this tender with interested suppliers virtually to outline the requirements, monetary value and initial length of the new contract. Meetings will be held to meet individual interested suppliers on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th November 2021. No more than 3 people may attend per supplier. Sessions will be a maximum of 30 minutes long. The sessions will be as follows: Wednesday 10th November 2021 * Supplier session 1: 13.00 - 13.30 * Supplier session 2: 13.45 - 14.15 * Supplier session 3: 14.30 - 15.00 * Supplier session 4: 15.15 - 15.45 * Supplier session 5: 16.00 - 16.30 Thursday 11th November 2021 * Supplier session 6: 13.00 - 13.30 * Supplier session 7: 13.45 - 14.15 * Supplier session 8: 14.30 - 15.00 * Supplier session 9: 15.15 - 15.45 * Supplier session 10: 16.00 - 16.30 Suppliers who are interested in attending the supplier engagement sessions are asked to express their interest via the DfT Jaggaer Portal by Monday 8th November 2021, 17.00. Interested suppliers should provide their preferred individual slot along with the names and email addresses of up to 3 attendees.
