Description
HS2 is creating thousands of contract opportunities in its supply chain. The 'HS2 Supply Chain Readiness' event is designed to put your business into a position where its tender is taken seriously and has the best chance of success.
Find out how you can place your company in the best position to bid for and win work and ensure that you understand the key strategic goals and aspects required to be part of the HS2 supply chain.
Supply Chain Opportunities:
- The supply chain opportunities with HS2 are huge: For every direct contract we award, there could be up to 1,000 supply chain opportunities, across many business sectors, requiring a wide range of capabilities, over a number of years suitable for businesses of all types and sizes.
- We have let around £10bn worth of contracts. By this time next year this will be around £20bn.
- The HS2 project is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to get involved and help deliver Britain’s new high speed railway. There will be thousands of opportunities on offer to you, and now is the time to get involved. We are looking for everything from engineering to catering services, designers to ecologists, and construction equipment to electronic components. It is not just about track and trains.

Archaeology:
Before we build bridges, tunnels, tracks and stations, the largest archaeology programme ever undertaken in the UK will take place along the line of route. Over the next 2 years, more than 1,000 archaeologists, specialists, scientists and conservators will be exploring and recording over 60 archaeological sites for the project. As part of HS2’s enabling works, they will reveal over 10,000 years of British history.
Green corridor:
- We’re creating a ‘green corridor’ alongside HS2, which will support local wildlife and communities, while integrating the railway into the landscape. Along the Phase One route, which covers 216km from London to the West Midlands, the green corridor will encompass:
- 7 million new trees and shrubs, including over 40 native species, specific to each location. The new native woodlands will cover over 9 square kilometres of land.
- Over 33 square kilometres of new and existing wildlife habitat – equating to an area the size of 4,600 football pitches. That’s an increase of around 30% compared to what’s there now.
- Tailor-made homes for wildlife, ranging from bat houses to 226 new ponds for great crested newts and other amphibians.
- Earthworks and landscaping which will re-use around 90% of the material excavated during construction.
- The potential to support community projects and develop amenity spaces such as access routes, public parks, open spaces and nature reserves.
