This tender, classified under Research and Development Consultancy Services, is located in Birmingham, England. It is currently at the Tender stage with an open procurement method, and the deadline for submissions is set for 10 April 2017, with the contract start date scheduled for 28 April 2017. Interested parties can access the Invitation To Quote (ITQ) documentation through HS2’s e-Sourcing Portal, with clarifications accepted until 29 March 2017. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on railway systems and measurement technologies, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive consultancy services. Companies specialising in research and development, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are encouraged to engage, provided they can fulfil the requirements set forth by HS2 Ltd regarding the essential equipment and specifications necessary for upcoming procurement exercises in the rail sector. ## Notice Overview of Requirement: HS2 Ltd requires the support of a Supplier to develop and define the initial rolling stock requirements with regards to: * Unattended Measurement System Development; and * Asset Condition Monitoring Strategy. Given the differing focus and purpose of the above requirements, their development will comprise two separate work packages, however HS2 Ltd will require one Supplier to solely undertake both of these tasks. As part of the work the Supplier will be required to define requirements for Hs2 Ltd.'s forthcoming Rolling Stock and RailwaySystems procurement exercises by providing a clear guidance to the: * HS2 Rolling Stock team of the infrastructure inspection, measurement and monitoring equipment that needs to be fitted to the commercial service rolling stock; and * HS2 Railway Systems Procurement team of the Asset Condition Monitoring equipment required to provide performance and condition information, therefore enabling the Asset Management end state requirements to be included within the Rail System procurement packaging. The Supplier will also be required to complete a set of requirements (functional and performance specifications) for inclusion in the HS2 Project Requirements Specification.
