Technical requirements: High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd (‘HS2 Ltd’) is responsible for developing and promoting the new high speed railway. HS2 will initially run between London and Birmingham (Phase 1) but will subsequently be extended to link Birmingham to Manchester and Leeds (Phase 2).
This Periodic Indicative Notice (‘PIN’) relates to the forthcoming procurement for the design, manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance of key station building systems, including fire detection and alarm systems, building management systems, public address/voice alarm systems and lighting.
This PIN is to alert suppliers that HS2 Ltd wishes to commence pre-procurement market engagement, including seeking responses to the supplier questionnaire referred to in this PIN below.
HS2 Ltd has identified a number of systems, which are common to all stations and for which a common specification and supply of key system components is anticipated to offer operational and maintenance benefits. The four systems prioritised at this stage include:
— the fire detection and alarm system, which in line with the individual fire strategies provides detection of smoke and fire and emergency call points for staff and passengers and interfaces with the public address/voice alarm system to provide required alerts and announcements;
— the public address/voice alarm system, which provides emergency and non-emergency messages to the staff and customers within the station;
— the building management system (BMS), which controls all the functioning of mechanical, electrical and public health building services and monitors performance and raises fault alarms; and
— lighting, which consists of two different elements — lighting control system, which manages the lighting of each station and Back of House Lighting (i.e. luminaires for both surface and subsurface stations).
This procurement is for the establishment of a single supplier framework agreement for the design and supply of six station building systems primarily for the new HS2 Phase One Stations to be constructed in London at Euston and Old Oak Common and in the Midlands at Birmingham Curzon Street and Interchange. The six station building systems include:
• the Public Address/Voice Alarm (PAVA) system to enable the distribution of audible evacuation and operational information within the station;
• the fire detection and alarm system to detect fires and raise the alarm in the event of an emergency;
• the building energy management system (BEMS) to provide centralised monitoring of alarms, activities and maintenance prompts for systems throughout the station;
• the lighting control system to provide the minimum safe illumination of the public and back of house areas for the station;
• the customer information system (CIS) to enable delivery of information to customers and staff within the station;
• the station information management system (SIMS) to provide local operational control and management of all aspects associated with passenger information and security, station services, including all fixed mechanical and electrical (M&E) and emergency situations.
