    "description": "Please read the following important notices before registering an interest: 1) This PIN is not a call for competition and is not published with the intention of reducing any time-limits for the receipt of tenders. This PIN is issued solely for the purpose of exploring whether there are interested organisations with a suitable site or scheme. The PIN does not constitute any commitment by HS2 to undertake any public procurement exercise. 2) Section II.1.3) Type of contract - HS2 Ltd has not yet determined the nature of any arrangement to be entered into for the beneficial re-use of the surplus excavated material. Any arrangement may not be a contract to which the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 or the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 apply. 3) Section II.1.5) Estimated total value - HS2 Ltd's current budget assumes transport costs for the surplus excavated material to be removed from site but that the material can be put to beneficial re-use and therefore that the material may have a value rather than be subject to disposal costs and taxes. 4) Section II.1.6) Information about lots - HS2 Ltd is willing to explore sites/schemes at different locations but its preference is for one site/scheme to take all the available material to minimise environmental impact and logistics. 5) Section II.2.3) Place of performance - the material will arise from works to be undertaken along the Phase 2a route but is likely to be made available primarily at Yarnfield Lane in Stone. HS2 Ltd wishes to mitigate the environmental and economic impact of transportation. Accordingly, HS2 Ltd is particularly interested in opportunities in close proximity to or easily accessible from the Yarnfield Lane area. 6) Section II.3) Estimated date of publication of contract notice - HS2 Ltd does not commit to undertake any public procurement exercise. The date given in section II.3 is HS2 Ltd's estimated earliest date from when the material may be available. 7) HS2 Phase Two is being delivered in 2 stages: HS2 Phase 2a (West Midlands to Crewe) and HS2 Phase 2b (Crewe to Manchester, and the West Midlands to Leeds). The Phase 2a route is authorised by virtue of the High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Act 2021 that secured Royal Assent on 11 February 2021. 8) HS2 Ltd reserves the right not to commence any procurement process or award any contract/s in respect of the arrangements/services referred to this PIN and to amend the requirements stated in this PIN. 9) Publication of this PIN is part of the normal HS2 Ltd due diligence process on its options, and the publication of this PIN does not indicate that a decision has been made on a particular route for a procurement and/or subsequent contract award, if any. 10) Interested parties will not be prejudiced by any response to this PIN. Nor shall a response to this PIN guarantee an invitation to participate in any future procurement process that HS2 Ltd may conduct. 11) Registration does not bind HS2 Ltd to include any party/economic operator in this exercise; 12) HS2 Ltd is not obliged to communicate with any parties/economic operators that register after the deadline for registration has passed. 13) HS2 Ltd is not obliged to respond to any correspondence on this notice or any matter related to this pre-procurement exercise and the decision to accept the registration of any interested party/ economic operator, and subsequent inclusion in any engagement process shall remain with HS2 Ltd alone. 10) Given the early stage of the project, and the anticipated impact of this exercise and other internal processes, any information provided about Phase 2a to the market shall be subject to change and HS2 Ltd (insofar as it is permitted by law) shall not be liable for any losses incurred by any party/economic operator as a result of reliance on such information. 12) HS2 Ltd is not obliged to communicate with any parties/economic operators that complete the supplier questionnaire.",

The material will be site-won as part of the construction of the railway and based on the present scheme is likely to be made available primarily at Yarnfield Lane in Stone. HS2 Ltd will be constructing and bringing into use temporary works slip-roads at this location as part of the proposed Phase 2a works which will provide direct access/egress on the M6 (strategic road network). The quantity of material available is estimated to be in the region of 1,250,000m3 and is of various classifications, namely topsoil, Class 2, Class 4, U1B & U2. Decisions around collection and/or delivery of the material are to be considered at a further stage but HS2 Ltd wishes to minimise the number of separate arrangements, reduce the need for multiple interfaces and mitigate the environmental impact of transportation. Accordingly, HS2 Ltd is particularly interested in opportunities in close proximity to or easily accessible from the Phase 2a route. Based on the current programme, material will be made available during construction of the Phase 2a route between 2025 - 2029 over a period of approximately 48 months. HS2 Ltd is in the process of planning its procurement for the Phase 2a main civils works. Any arrangement for the surplus excavated material may be made by HS2 Ltd direct or by HS2 Ltd's Phase 2a main civils works contractors once procured by HS2 Ltd. If you have a site or scheme that may operate to serve as a beneficial re-use opportunity for HS2 Ltd or its Phase 2a main civils works contractors once procured then please refer to the registration process in Section II.1.4), and to the important notices in Section VI.3).",
