Plant Materials

High Speed Two (HS2) Limited (‘HS2 Ltd’) is responsible for developing and promoting the new high speed railway known as High Speed Two (‘HS2’) (also referred to in this Pipeline Notice as ‘the Project’). HS2 will run between London and Birmingham.

Plant Material is required by HS2 Ltd to create new woodland, screen planting, hedgerows, landscape planting, ecological habitats and feature planting as the Project develops. This procurement for the supply of plant material is part of a wider set of HS2 procurements intended to deliver the Project.

The scope of the Plant Material Contract is to establish a supply agreement by which HS2 Ltd can instruct the collecting of seed, the growing and supply of plant material to meet the Project's planting requirements. It is envisaged that the Plant Material Contractor will provide HS2 Ltd with plants and trees grown to contract from seed of specified provenance for the project planting areas. The plant material grown will be supplied via free-issue by HS2 Ltd to HS2 Ltd's Main Works Civils Contractors (MWCC) and/or other HS2 Contracts.
