Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

High Speed Two (HS2) Limited issued a tender for the Maintenance and Management of Green Assets, as part of its legal obligations under the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Act 2017. The procurement process is currently in the active stage and focuses on services related to agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural sectors. The contract will potentially cover maintenance tasks such as managing woodlands, grasslands, hedgerows, and various habitats within the HS2 project's Green Corridor across the UK. The tender has a submission deadline of 27th February 2024 and includes a detailed selective procurement process with a negotiated procedure and prior competition call. Contractors can expect a contract with an initial duration of 5 years, potentially extendable to 10 years.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental management, landscaping, and related services. With the project's large scale, it provides a considerable financial incentive, with an estimated total value of £209,408,000 GBP divided over several lots. Enterprises with expertise in ecological conservation and sustainable land management are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The potential for extended contract terms offers strategic business growth and stability, making it an excellent opportunity for companies seeking to establish or extend their presence in large-scale infrastructure projects. Interested parties must adhere to rigorous selection criteria, underscoring the need for a robust demonstration of technical and professional abilities in their submissions.

Notice Title

ABANDONED - Green Assets Maintenance & Management Procurement

Notice Description

As part of the High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Act 2017 (HS2 Act), HS2 Ltd has a legal requirement to mitigate its environmental effects. In addition, HS2 Ltd has a requirement through agreements with the Department for Transport to provide environmental benefits. These requirements and provision of benefits include the provision of green assets. HS2 Ltd has acquired much of its land temporarily to construct the railway. Some of this land has been or will be developed into environmental mitigation sites (Green Assets), which range from sites compensating for the loss of grassland, scrub and woodland habitats to new receptor sites for ancient woodland soils, amphibians and reptiles as well as other ecological and landscape mitigation sites. Collectively, this is referred to as our Green Corridor, which, once delivered, will span 3,500ha. Previously HS2 Ltd was intending to appoint Contractor(s) to undertake the Maintenance and Management of green assets which included, but was not limited to the following: * Woodlands; * Grasslands; * Hedgerows; * Ponds, ditches and other non-engineering related drainage features; and * Habitat, including bat houses, reptile banks and hibernacula. HS2 is currently undergoing a programme review to reset the HS2 project (the "Reset"). A decision has been made to abandon the Green Assets Maintenance & Management (GAM&M) procurement due to the revised timings of the programme.
