PRIOR INFORMATION NOTICE (PIN) ONLY (NO RESPONSE REQUIRED) - HS1 LTD - SUSTAINABLE ASSET MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Description

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. Further information can be found at www.highspeed1.co.uk HS1 wishes to procure professional sustainability, asset management, and climate change support. We are looking to work closely with a consultancy to enable the management of sustainability risks to be embedded into our asset management processes. Asset hand back: 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 practise and lessons learned from other long term infrastructure concessions, not necessarily rail. Strategic Asset Management Plan: Our Strategic Asset Management Plan is a fundamental document that sets our strategic priorities. HS1 plan to publish a new and significantly revised SAMP setting the Asset Management Objectives and priorities for CP5, to enable asset strategies to be developed by our suppliers. Climate Adaptation: HS1 is looking to update our existing climate change risk assessment and action plan, ensuring that they align with the latest scientific data, asset information, and regulatory requirements. This task will involve climate risk modelling to re-evaluate previously identified risks to our 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.
