The purpose of the Prior Information Notice (‘PIN’) is to issue a pre-market engagement questionnaire in order to: (a) provide potential suppliers with an update on the scope and procurement approach. It should be noted that this physical security market sounding briefing and questionnaire is being issued in parallel with a separate market engagement around the provision of a telecommunications system to gauge appetite for inclusion of specific requirements and sub-elements of physical security. (b) give potential suppliers the opportunity to give feedback on HS2 Ltd's intended approach; (c) test market appetite to bid for the outlined requirements in whole or part. Context: HS2 requires the deployment of physical security measures across the HS2 railway network in order to protect people, assets, service and brand. These security measures will support the operational security function in its aim to deter, detect, delay and deny potential or actual criminal or terrorist activity that could affect the safe operation of HS2.
