The Department for Transport invites tenders from Roll A Parliamentary Agents to assist in the preparation and promotion of a hybrid Bill to authorise the construction of the section of route referred to as Phase 2b (West Midlands to Leeds, Crewe to Manchester), of the High Speed 2 (HS2) scheme.

Passenger services are planned to commence on the Phase 2b route in 2033 subject to parliamentary approval of the Phase 2b hybrid Bill. The Government intends to deposit the hybrid Bill by the end of 2019.
