## Summary

HS2, situated in Birmingham, is seeking to award a contract for the "Provision of Independent Technical Advisors" in the civil engineering consultancy sector. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, having completed on March 10, 2020, with a total contract value of £326,000. The contract period runs from March 16, 2020, to March 1, 2021, with the intention of validating technical designs submitted by Main Work Civil Contractors (MWCC). The tender period concluded on February 11, 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in civil engineering consultancy and infrastructure works consultancy services. Businesses that possess expertise in technical advising and design validation, particularly those familiar with large infrastructure projects, would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts with HS2 Ltd as the organisation navigates towards the Notice to Proceed (NTP). Such engagements can enhance business growth through collaboration on high-profile projects within the UK.

## Notice

As HS2 Ltd is gearing towards Notice to Proceed (NTP), the Infrastructure Directorate is required to explore and validate the viability of the designs submitted by Main Work Civil Contractors (MWCC) across numerous technical disciplines. At this present time, HS2 Ltd does not have the right level of organisational maturity needed for the government to grant NTP.
