High Speed Two (HS2) Limited, Phase One Stations - Framework Agreement for Uninterruptible Power Supply components & Central Battery Systems
Authority: HS2 (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis 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).
CPV: Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting · Lamps and light fittings · Lighting equipment and electric lamps · Workstations
How this framework works
From the published notice- Places
- up to 1 suppliers · 3 bids received (3.0 per place) · 1 appointed (full)
- 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.

Applicants are referred to the PQP and PQQ for information about conditions for participation
- 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. HS2 Ltd will consider contracting with a consortium, providing always that the participants in any consortium are jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of the Contractor under the Contract.
- Shortlisting
- Applicants are referred to the PQP and PQQ for information about HS2 Ltd's rules and criteria for participation.
- Successive reduction
- Candidates will be reduced successively across stages
- 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.
