The contract scope includes:
Technical reviews of Contractors' and Professional Services Contractors' submissions to HS2 for technical assessment;
Architectural Approach Documents, Engineering and Civil Engineering Technical standards;
Design evaluation and pro-active commentary on the suitability and effectiveness of built and landscape designs

Tenderers will need to provide a range of skills, either from their directly employed workforce or on a sub-contracted basis, including:
Structural Engineering; Highway Engineering; Geotechnical Engineering; Tunnel and Sub-surface Engineering; Drainage Engineering; Flood Engineering, Landscape and Earthworks Design; Stations and Buildings Architecture; Services Engineering; Pedestrian Flow Modellers; Urban Realm Designers; Noise & Vibration and Aerodynamics experts.
