HS2’s Euston station construction partner, Mace Dragados JV, is offering procurement contract packages worth over £500m to help deliver the new HS2 Euston station
These procurement contract packages represent the start of a multi-year programme of procurement to support the development and delivery of the HS2 scheme.
The contracts include the procurement for the construction of the main substructure at the station, which will involve packages for piling, earthworks, and reinforced concrete.
In addition, MD JV is also looking to secure a subcontractor to deliver the main systems and mechanical and electrical, and plumbing (MEP) packages for the station.
These contract packages will in turn result in other contracts flowing through the supply chain, which will bring opportunities to businesses to participate in delivering HS2.
‘Building Back Better from the pandemic’
HS2 minister, Andrew Stephenson commented: “HS2 has never just been about boosting transport – it’s also about driving business, creating long-lasting jobs and Building Back Better from the pandemic.
“This major investment shows we’re delivering on our promises to improve transport across the nation while providing opportunities for business and boosting the economy.”
‘Delivering improved connections with the London Underground’
Andy Swift, HS2 project client for Euston stated: “Our work to deliver HS2’s London terminus station at Euston will really ramp up over the next few years.
“We have been preparing the area for the construction of the new station, which will transform the Euston area, including delivering improved connections with the London Underground.
“We encourage businesses big and small to bid for these packages, and we are proud of the role that HS2 is playing in helping boost the UK economy after covid.”
‘Helping to feed into the national levelling-up agenda’
Paul Leighton, deputy delivery director at Mace Dragados JV, also commented: “Given the scale of the task at Euston, we’re in no doubt as to how important our supply chain is to our success.
“We’re looking for our suppliers to not only provide us with skilled team members that will help us grow in size and capability, but to bring ideas and innovations that will help us set standards in the industry.
“We’re excited to see the wider impacts of our procurement activities too, with opportunities for suppliers across the country helping to feed into the national levelling-up agenda.”
