## Summary

High Speed Two (HS2) Limited intends to establish a residual works framework for the Phase 1 line of route from London Euston to Handsacre, including the Birmingham Curzon Street spur. It will provide ongoing access to civil, environmental, engineering design, and specialist and ancillary capabilities for known requirements and future activities that are not yet defined. The scope includes highways, structures, utilities, drainage, earthworks, landscaping, ecology, heritage, environmental work, civil design, surveys and site investigations, temporary works, demolition, fencing, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing and building services. Typical packages may cover highway schemes, permanent works, infrastructure completion, land restoration, mitigation, handback, design completion, validations, consents, urgent works and other residual requirements. Delivery is required along the Phase 1 route in England.

This procurement is at the planning stage: HS2 Limited has stated an intention to procure, and the current process is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use a competitive flexible procedure under the utilities regime to establish a framework agreement, with works split into packages within one planned lot. The anticipated contract period is 9 March 2029 to 9 March 2039. The estimated value is £2.2 billion excluding VAT, or £2.64 billion including VAT. HS2 Limited expects the next notice to be published on 4 November 2027. The framework is above the applicable threshold. The buyer has described a capability-led model intended to provide flexibility for future, currently unknown works and services.

The planned framework should suit contractors and consultancies able to deliver construction, civil engineering, environmental services, engineering design or specialist ancillary work on major rail infrastructure. HS2 has identified requirements spanning highways, structures, utilities, drainage, earthworks, landscaping, ecology, heritage, environmental management, civil design, surveys, site investigations, temporary works, demolition, fencing, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing and building services. It may suit businesses with one core capability as well as those able to combine several disciplines into package delivery. The buyer is seeking suppliers that can respond to varied requirements, including infrastructure completion, restoration, mitigation, handback, consents, urgent works and emerging scope. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, supporting early preparation by organisations in those categories.
