HS2 to award £6bn of work in next two years

摘要

HS2 is set to award at least £6bn of construction work by the end of 2022. According to data published on the railway's website, the £100bn project will award 18 railway system and construction contracts in the next two years, underlining the importance of the project as the industry struggles to bounce back from the covid-19 crisis. Procurement is yet to start on seven of these, while the process is already under way on the other 11. For eight of the contracts, procurement is in the prequalification questionnaire (PPQ) stage, while shortlists have already been announced for the other three. The highest-value deal is the £570m contract to build the railway's Birmingham terminus at Curzon Street.
