The appointed supplier to each lot will have work packages awarded to it on an ongoing basis.

Firms will only allowed to be appointed to both lots if they are a non-leading partner of a JV in each.

HS2 will invite six candidates to tender for each lot, with assessment weighted 75:25 towards quality over cost. The contracts will last for four years, with a possible extension of another four years.

Interested parties must register their interest by 24 April, with invitations expected to be sent out on 3 July.
