## Summary

The procurement process for the HS2 Phase One Stations Framework Agreement focused on the supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) components and Central Battery Systems. High Speed Two (HS2) Limited, the buying organisation, aimed to serve new Phase One Stations at Euston, Old Oak Common, Birmingham Curzon Street, and Interchange. This agreement, under the "Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting" industry category, was conducted using a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The framework agreement is set for an initial duration of eight years, with the option to extend for an additional two years. The award was completed, and the contract was signed with ABB Limited on 28 October 2024, valued at £66,465,630.00.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in electrical machinery and installation services, particularly those specialising in UPS systems and central battery systems. The framework agreement offers a structure for continuous supply and maintenance work across multiple major construction sites, presenting long-term business prospects. Large-scale suppliers with a capacity to handle extensive and multifaceted projects, such as those similar to ABB Limited, would be well-suited to compete and thrive in this tender, contributing to the growth of essential infrastructure, ensuring robust and uninterrupted power supplies for critical railway operations.

Additional information: Applicants are referred to VI.3) Additional information in this Contract Notice below.

Options: HS2 Ltd reserves the right to omit and/or vary the scope. As further described in the PQP documents and in the accompanying Outline Scope document, Applicants should note in particular that the scope may include optional projects as described in II.2.11)1) below: 1) Other Contracting Bodies, as described in VI.3) part 6) (at their sole and absolute discretion) can enter a Supply and Installation Call-Off Contract and a Maintenance Call-Off Contract with the successful Tenderer. The prices submitted by the successful Tenderer will be applied to inform and calculate the price for undertaking the Optional Project. 2) Option to extend the term of the Framework Agreement The term of the Framework Agreement will be for an initial term of eight years although HS2 Ltd reserves the right to extend the term of the Framework Agreement for up to a further two years to make a maximum possible term of ten years. HS2 Ltd reserves the right to extend the term of the Framework Agreement from eight to ten years if one or more Station Contracts is delayed so that the anticipated timing of the Call-Offs set out in the Outline Scope document cannot be achieved within the initial eight-year term. The justification for any such extension beyond the initial eight-year term of the Framework Agreement is to ensure that HS2 Ltd can use the Framework Agreement to achieve the Stations Common Components strategy notwithstanding a delay to the Station Contracts.
