Tender description

HS2 Ltd is seeking to procure a Phase Two Development Partner (P2DP) that can integrate into the HS2 Ltd existing organisation to be part of the Phase 2 client function, to project manage and support its management of the development and deposition of the Phase Two hybrid Bill and to achieve Royal Assent. HS2 Ltd is the company responsible for developing and promoting the High Speed 2 (HS2) network and is wholly owned by the Department for Transport. The HS2 network will provide high capacity, high speed rail links between London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester (including Manchester Airport), with intermediate stations in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire. The new high speed network is being planned and is to be built in 2 phases. Phase 1 from London to Birmingham and Phase 2, from Birmingham to Leeds and Manchester. Phase 1 is not part of the scope of this procurement. The broad project aim for Phase 2 is to gain Royal Assent to a hybrid Bill that enables HS2 Ltd to construct, operate and maintain a high speed railway, with the optimum balance between cost, environmental and community impact and engineering design, for the Phase 2 route, integrating seamlessly with Phase 1 and as part of a national rail network.
