ABANDONED - Phase One and Phase Two Stations Platform Edge Doors Framework Agreement
Authority: High Speed Two (HS2) Limited (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAs detailed in Contract Notice 2023/S 000-021284, HS2 Ltd was previously intending to to establish a single-supplier Framework Agreement for Platform Edge Doors (PEDs) required at Old Oak Common and Interchange stations within the HS2 Phase One route (London to West Midlands) along with Optional Scope at Manchester Airport station within Phase 2b of the HS2 route. However, since the UK government announcement in 2023 to terminate Phase 2 of the HS2 project, HS2 is developing a revised operating model under the HS2 Reset Programme to improve the strategic and economic case of Phase 1 of the HS2 project involving a mixed fleet of different length rolling stock. Consequently, the adoption of PEDs as a means of platform edge protection is not considered to be viable at this time and the procurement for these works has therefore been abandoned.
