## Summary

HS1 Ltd, the organisation responsible for the UK’s only high-speed railway, is currently at the planning procurement stage for the "St Pancras Enhancement Project RIBA 2 Design and Operational Concept Feasibility Study." This project falls under the "Engineering design services" industry category and is based in London. The procurement process aims to progress from an initial feasibility study to a detailed design and operational concept phase. HS1’s goal is to reconfigure the ground floor operation of the International Zone at St Pancras station to significantly increase passenger capacity by 2035, potentially extending capacity until 2040. Key dates include the call for competition on 23 January 2025, PQQ submissions due by 12 February 2025, and contract award expected in April/May 2025, with all activities conducted under the Negotiated Procurement Procedure.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialised in engineering design, architectural services, and project estimation, as well as those capable of handling large-scale infrastructure enhancements. Businesses experienced in improving passenger flow, station security design, and facility rationalisation will find this project well-suited to their expertise. With Eurostar's aspiration to grow its passenger volumes and the need for modernised station infrastructure, businesses involved in high-speed rail operations, maintenance, and architectural design have a prime opportunity to contribute to a landmark project that will serve millions of international passengers annually.

## Notice

International rail services are currently provided by Eurostar who have expressed an aspiration to grow their passenger volumes from 19m today to 30m by 2030 across their network. To support these growth aspirations, HS1 has commissioned an initial feasibility study to explore a) the likely future passenger numbers that will need to be accommodated in the international part of St Pancras station and b) the required spatial and operational changes that will be necessary to unlock the required capacity. This initial work has identified that expansion is feasible. HS1 is now ready to progress to design and operational concept feasibility stage (RIBA2) to design, deliver and operationalise a reconfigured ground floor operation of the International Zone delivering a significant uplift in passenger capacity that meets forecast requirements until at least 2035 and potentially 2040.
