## Summary

HS2 Ltd has recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Slab Tack and Earthworks Workshop," which falls under the civil engineering consultancy services category. Located in Birmingham, England, this procurement was initiated on 24th October 2017 and concluded with the contract being awarded to DB Engineering & Consulting GmbH.

Companies with expertise in high-speed rail systems, particularly those that can provide insights into the interface between slab track and earthwork standards, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.

## Notice

HS2 Ltd has awarded a contract to DB Engineering & Consulting GmbH to facilitate a workshop in October 2017 in order to share best practice on the design, construction and maintenance of slab track and earthwork interfaces. The objective of the workshop will be to discuss in detail the gaps in HS2 earthwork standards and compare them to the German specifications, along with the rationale as to why particular parameters and limits are currently specified. The outcome will be that HS2 Ltd will have a thorough understanding of the rationale for the particular parameters specified within the German standards and their importance in ensuring a safe, reliable high speed rail system. This will enable the HS2 standards to be updated, thereby reducing construction and operational risks when the railway is in service.
