HS1 Ltd has gone out tender with a contract to put a sustainable asset management framework in place worth an estimated £450,000.
The rail infrastructure provider is seeking to procure professional sustainability, asset management, and climate change support. HS1 Ltd. is looking to work closely with a consultancy to enable the management of sustainability risks to be embedded into its asset management processes.
HS1 Ltd has the 30-year concession to operate, maintain and renew High Speed 1, the UK’s first section of high-speed rail, as well as the international stations along the route: St Pancras, Stratford, Ebbsfleet and Ashford.
HS1 is seeking strategic guidance from consultants who have experience of handing back assets at the end of a concession. This must draw on good practice and lessons learned from other long term infrastructure concessions, not necessarily rail.
HS1 is planning to publish a new and significantly revised Strategic Asset Management Plan SAMP setting Asset Management Objectives and priorities to enable asset strategies to be developed by its suppliers.
It is also looking to update its existing climate change risk assessment and action plan, ensuring that they align with the latest scientific data, asset information, and regulatory requirements. This will involve climate risk modelling to re-evaluate previously identified risks to operations and identify any new potential risk.
It will also include proposal mitigation strategies and outlining actionable, costed steps to enhance the resilience of the HS1 system.
Time limit for receipt of expressions of interest is 28 February 2025 – click here to access the tender documentation.
