Britain is planning its first high-speed rail network that will connect its biggest cities, generate jobs, rebalance the economy, shorten journey times and significantly improve capacity of the UK rail network. HS2 Ltd is the organisation responsible for developing and delivering the UK's high speed rail network.
HS2 will be built in two phases to ensure that the benefits of high speed rail are realised as early as possible. Phase One, connecting London and the West Midlands, is expected to open in 2026.

Further information on HS2 and our work can be found on our website: www.hs2.org.uk.

The Purpose of this Periodic Indicative Notice:
This Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) is designed to research the supply market to support the approach to be taken for the procurement of Phase One, which will be described back to the market in Summer 2014. In particular, the outcomes of the market engagement activity may inform the procurement strategy to be adopted, the formulation of requirements and / or specification and timings.
HS2 Ltd is particularly interested in engaging applicants with capability in the following categories:
- Tunnels;
- Stations;
- Surface Route;
- Enabling Works;
- Railway Systems;
- Design Services;
- Rolling Stock and Depots; and
- Systems Integrators
This market engagement may include the following topics:
- testing the approach, size and composition of individual packages of work;
- how to optimise contracting mechanisms;
- understanding potential market constraints and supply chain risks;
- how to embed sustainability into HS2 procurements;
- how to encourage and capture potential innovative solutions; and
- assessing potential interest and gaining appropriate feedback prior to the commencement of a formal procurement exercise, if pursued.
During the market engagement exercise, applicants may be invited to participate in one or more of the following activities:
- market engagement survey;
- events led by Umbrella Trade Associations and Local Enterprise Partnerships;
- plenary meetings; and
- one-to-one meetings.
HS2 will respect the confidentiality of each participant in any market engagement activities subject to any obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Environmental Impact Regulations 2004.
This diverse set of market engagement activities has been set out to maximise the involvement from a representative sample of the supply market. If a supplier does not feel that these channels will provide sufficient representation of their organisation, please contact HS2 Ltd on the email address provided in Section I.
The market engagement survey is available to all applicants and allows them to provide their input and feedback. However, because of the expected interest in the market engagement exercise, it is not anticipated that all applicants will be able to participate in all activities. HS2 Ltd will ensure a representative cross-section of organisations will be involved in the market engagement activities.
Please note that this research is an informal market engagement exercise to enable HS2 to benefit from potential suppliers' technical expertise and experience of similar projects. This exercise does not represent the commencement of any formal procurement. Supplier participation in this market engagement exercise will not have any influence on any future supplier selection, which shall be subject to further notification and competition as is required in the circumstances.
