Interim Maintenance Contracts (IMC)

Description

HS2 is Britain’s new high-speed railway connecting London and Birmingham. Our British-built trains will create capacity, or space, on the congested network, providing faster, zero carbon journeys between our two largest cities. Services will continue to Manchester, the North West and Scotland using the conventional railway network, cutting journey times. Due to the potential changes in HS2 Ltd.’s Delivery Strategy resulting from the HS2 Reset, HS2 Ltd has identified a need for capabilities to undertake routine repairs, maintenance and safeguarding of assets which it owns or for which it has responsibility. To develop this capability, it is HS2 Ltd.’s current intention to procure Interim Maintenance Contracts (IMCs) to undertake Care & Custody and Infrastructure Safeguarding of assets that have been completed by the current Main Works Civils Contracts (MWCC) and prior to the High-Speed Rail Systems (HSRS) contractors mobilising. The scope may also include optional non-core instructed elements of landscape design, planted plot creation works and localised civils construction works. The core scope of services has been categorised as Asset Specific Care & Custody and Infrastructure Safeguarding. These include the following scope areas: Asset Specific Care and Custody •Land Management •Environmental and Landscape Infrastructure Maintenance •Temporary Facilities Maintenance and Management •Civil Engineering Infrastructure Maintenance Infrastructure Safeguarding •Security Services •Principal Contractor (PC) Duties •Professional Services (Subject to additional instruction) •Lead Contractor Duties (relates to the role defined in the HS2 Code of Construction Practice, required alongside the CDM PC responsibilities) Optional Non-Core Services •Landscape design and planted plot creation •Civils construction
