We also want to hear from you if you have innovations and solutions that will improve the efficiency and sustainability of our work on site and help to ensure that we make a positive environmental impact.

Who are we seeking engagement with?

Companies or traders that meet the UK government definition of SME.

However, if you do not meet the criteria but feel that you have innovative ideas or solutions that can help meet HS2’s aspirations, then we would still like to hear from you.
