## Summary

The High Speed Two (HS2) Limited is currently completed its procurement process for the manufacture and maintenance of high-speed trains under the title "HS2 Rolling Stock Manufacture and Maintenance Services". This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on rolling stock within the railway industry. The procurement staged culminated in a negotiation process that led to the award of contracts on 17 December 2021 and 30 November 2021, with the primary deliverables set for Birmingham and extending to locations on the UK's extensive rail network.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies involved in manufacturing, maintenance, and rail services. Firms that specialise in high-speed train production, railway infrastructure development, or those skilled in providing long-term maintenance services would be particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, with potential options for additional units and extended service agreements, suppliers capable of reliable and innovative transport solutions could find a significant market presence in the evolving high-speed rail sector.

## Notice

High Speed Two (HS2) Limited is responsible for developing and promoting the new high speed railway known as High Speed 2 ('HS2'), including procuring a fleet of very high speed trains to operate on HS2. HS2 will initially run between London and Birmingham (Phase One) but will subsequently be extended northwards to link Birmingham to Crewe (Phase 2a) and Manchester and Leeds (Phase 2b). All phases will see through trains to other destinations on the UK's conventional network.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of the supplies to be provided by the Tenderer awarded the Contracts included (but was not be limited to) the following: 1. under a Manufacture and Supply Agreement (MSA), for the Train Manufacturer and Maintainer (TMM) to design, build, test and commission a minimum of 54 new high speed trains, to be delivered in advance of the expected commencement of HS2 Phase One passenger services in late 2029; 2. under a Train Services Agreement (TSA), for the TMM to provide train maintenance, servicing and refurbishment services (as required), and depot facilities management services, for a minimum term of circa 12 years from acceptance of each train; 3. following termination or expiry of the TSA, to continue to provide the necessary technical support and spares to the successor maintainer and repairer of the fleet if required by the HS2 Train Operator under a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement ('TSSSA'). The new fleet will need to be capable of operating on new and existing railway routes within the gauge and other constraints of those networks. The trains will need to operate on existing UK infrastructure (initially between Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow on the West Coast Main Line) and on the UK's new HS2 Network with performance characteristics which deliver the HS2 Programme requirements for capacity and connectivity. The selection of the TMM was on the basis of most economically advantageous tender.

Options: Potential manufacture of up to 30 additional Units to supplement the fleet. Potential extension of the TSA beyond the initial 12 year term up to the design life of the trains (35 years).
