The non-traction power systems will be a dedicated private network distributed within the tunnels and open route supplied by connections to the DNO (provided by the Employer).
The 33kV and 11kV is to be transformed down at specified locations by the contractor to enable the onward supply of LV power (provided by others) to stations, shafts, portals, tunnels and rail systems.
The High Voltage (HV) Power Systems Contractor is the Principal Contractor (PC) for the railway systems compounds. The High Voltage (HV) Power Systems Contractor will supply traction and non-traction power to the HS2 rolling-stock maintenance depot at Washwood Heath (Birmingham), this will include interfacing with the Network Integrated Control Centre (NICC).
The HV Power Systems Contractor is required to provide temporary supplies for construction use at its Railway Systems Compounds (RSC) where it is principal contractor, this may involve adopting the temporary supplies previously provided by MWCC.
This notice also relates to a maintenance contract, pursuant to which the contractor shall provide maintenance services in relation to the completed works. The maintenance contract will be valid for an initial term of 7 years with options to extend and will commence on the first sectional completion of the works under the design and build contract.
