ABANDONED - Green Assets Maintenance & Management Procurement

HS2 · compiled

Tender information last checkedLast checked 29 Sept 2026, 19:04.

Opportunity overview

As part of the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Act 2017 (HS2 Act), HS2 Ltd has a legal requirement to mitigate its environmental effects. In addition, HS2 Ltd has a requirement through agreements with the Department for Transport to provide environmental benefits. These requirements and provision of benefits include the provision of green assets. HS2 Ltd has acquired much of its land temporarily to construct the railway. Some of this land has been or will be developed into environmental mitigation sites (Green Assets), which range from sites compensating for the loss of grassland, scrub and woodland habitats to new receptor sites for ancient woodland soils, amphibians and reptiles as well as other ecological and landscape mitigation sites. Collectively, this is referred to as our Green Corridor, which, once delivered, will span 3,500ha. Previously HS2 Ltd was intending to appoint Contractor(s) to undertake the Maintenance and Management of green assets which included, but was not limited to the following: • Woodlands; • Grasslands; • Hedgerows; • Ponds, ditches and other non-engineering related drainage features; and • Habitat, including bat houses, reptile banks and hibernacula. HS2 is currently undergoing a programme review to reset the HS2 project (the “Reset”). A decision has been made to abandon the Green Assets Maintenance & Management (GAM&M) procurement due to the revised timings of the programme.

Description
The procurement is for a Contractor to provide the services described in the procurement documents under an amended NEC3 Term Service Contract. The contract Award will be for an initial period of 5 years with the option to extend, at HS2 Ltd's sole discretion, for up to a further 5 years via single or multiple fixed term increments. HS2 Ltd anticipates making two (2) contract awards for Lot 1 that are broadly equitable in value. However, HS2 Ltd reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to take account of other considerations (for example, but not exclusively, capacity and programme constraints, technical fit, performance standards, and price to ensure best value for money) when allocating the volume of Services and HS2 Ltd may allocate the volume of Services based on any such relevant considerations. HS2 Ltd does not guarantee a minimum volume or value of Services under any Contract. For Lot 1, it is envisaged that the two contract awards will have an aggregated value of between 55 314 000 GBP and 78 264 000 GBP. The final value being dependent upon levels of asset transfers and therefore the volume of Maintenance and Management of residual Green Assets. (This range is for the maximum contract term of 10 years - if all extension options are exercised). Additional information: Applicants are referred to the PQP and accompanying procurement documents and to VI.3) Additional information in this Contract Notice below.
