Description
Overview of the Requirement:
As part of the mobilisation and preparedness works being carried out by HS2 Ltd's Director of Asset Management - Railway Operations, HS2 Ltd requires the support of a Supplier to assist in the formation and development of:
1) The first iteration of the HS2 Locomotive Strategy,
2) The second iteration of the HS2 Maintenance Strategy (including On-Track Machines (OTM), On-Track Plant (OTP) and Maintenance Modules (MM)).
Given the differing focus and purpose of the above strategies, their development will comprise two separate work packages; HS2 Ltd will however require one Supplier to solely undertake both of these requirements.
Although the Contract will commence on 1 May 2017 and will involve the Supplier developing the Locomotive and Maintenance Strategies over a 3 month period, HS2 Ltd may require the Supplier to further review and refine the strategies in subsequent years of the HS2 Programme (i.e. in January 2019 and April 2020) in order to reflect the ongoing development of HS2 and its external influencing factors. There are no guarantees however that this additional support will be required; should HS2 Ltd require the support of the Supplier written confirmation of this will be provided accordingly.
