HS2 Phase One is a new high speed railway from London to the West Midlands. It is the first phase of HS2. HS2 Phase 2a will run from the West Midlands to Crewe, with HS2 Phase 2b continuing the railway to Manchester and Leeds.

The Department for Transport (DfT) invites tenders from Roll A Parliamentary Agents to support the implementation of the High Speed Rail (London-West Midlands) Act 2017 and the delivery of HS2 Phase One. This contract will be awarded under the Department for Transport's General conditions of contract for services which can be found attached and at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/general-conditions-of-contract-for-services.

Although the Act has received Royal Assent, DfT continues to require Roll A Parliamentary Agent support to enable the completion of a number of activities which are essential for the successful implementation of the Act. These include the completion of a number of outstanding complex agreements with stakeholders, monitoring compliance with nearly 4,500 Undertakings & Assurances ("U&As") that were entered into by the Secretary of State with those affected by the scheme, and ensuring that the numerous 'post Royal Assent activities' required by the Act are successfully completed in a timely and effective manner.
