What is being bought

Published requirement description

This procurement is to establish a single supplier Framework Agreement under which there will be Call-Offs for the supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance of Uninterruptible Power Supply components & Central Battery Systems primarily for the new Phase One Stations to be constructed at Euston, Old Oak Common, Birmingham Curzon Street and Interchange (base scope). These Uninterruptible Power Supply components & Central Battery Systems may also be required and called off under the Framework Agreement as optional scope at other sites (see VI.3 below). The Framework is being established for use by the Phase One Station Contractors (Supply Call-Off Contract), HS2 or an appointed Infrastructure Manager, if applicable (Maintenance Call-Off Contract) and for use by other Contracting Bodies defined in VI.3 below (both Supply and Maintenance Call-Off Contracts).

Framework period

10 yrs from 5 Dec 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 its Stations Common Components strategy.

Extensions: HS2 Ltd reserves the right to omit and/or vary the scope. As further described in the PQP documents and in the accompanying Outline Scope document, Applicants should note in particular that the scope may include optional projects as described in II.2.11)1) below:    1) Other Contracting Bodies, as described in VI.3) part 6) (at their sole and absolute discretion) can enter a Supply and Installation Call-Off Contract and a Maintenance Call-Off Contract with the successful Tenderer. The prices submitted by the successful Tenderer will be applied to inform and calculate the price for undertaking the Optional Project.    2) Option to extend the term of the Framework Agreement  The term of the Framework Agreement will be for an initial term of eight years although HS2 Ltd reserves the right to extend the term of the Framework Agreement for up to a further two years to make a maximum possible term of ten years. 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. The justification for any such extension beyond the initial eight-year term of the Framework Agreement is to ensure that HS2 Ltd can use the Framework Agreement to achieve the Stations Common Components strategy notwithstanding a delay to the Station Contracts. Second stage: 4–5 candidates invited to tenderVariant bids: not allowed

Legal form for consortia
HS2 Ltd will accept expressions of interest and tenders from single entities or consortia. HS2 Ltd does not require those consortia who intend to form a single legal entity to do so at the PQQ stage.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “High Speed Two (HS2) Limited, Phase One Stations - Framework Agreement…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
