The UK Government has committed to spend £55.7bn on HS2, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, with 330 miles of new network. It is predicted that Phase 1 alone will provide a 30,000 jobs boost. When complete, it is estimated that UK productivity will rise by £15bn a year, with better transport connections resulting in higher productivity through reduced production and transport costs and greater competition between UK regions.
HS2 will explain how suppliers can place themselves in the best position to bid for and win work and ensure that they understand the key strategic goals and aspects required to be part of the HS2 supply chain.
