Framework period

10 yrs from 25 Nov 2022, HS2 Ltd reserves the right to extend the term of the Framework Agreement from eight to ten years if one or more Station Contracts is delayed so that the anticipated timing of the call-offs set out in the Outline Scope document cannot be achieved within the initial eight-year term. This is to ensure HS2 Ltd can use the Framework Agreement to achieve the Station Common Components in spite of delay.
