two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The strategic purpose of HS2 Ltd’s Land and Property (L&P) Directorate is to acquire and manage the right land and property, at the right time, in the right way at the right price, ensuring HS2 Ltd are delivering value for money for tax payers and are being a good neighbour to the people and communities the HS2 project impacts.
In doing so, the L&P Directorate will deliver the largest land referencing and acquisition programme in more than 70 years, managing tens of thousands of land and property records, thousands of land parcels and hundreds of stakeholder groups. This work is a key enabler to the successful construction of the HS2 project.
It is therefore of high importance that HS2 Ltd provide the best possible customer experience to all stakeholders. The prime aim of the suppliers under the Framework Agreement will be to ensure that appropriate legal notices are served at the right time to land owners on behalf of the SoS (Secretary of State), in order to support survey, possession and acquisition of land for the HS2 programme.
Suppliers systems will be required to interface with HS2 Ltd’s systems, providing regular updates to industry standard systems (including ESRI ArcMap, Bentley eB, CEMAR, Microsoft Sharepoint, and Primavera P6), as well as proprietary systems built by HS2’s IT team, using SQL Server and Oracle. Data will also need to be exchanged in a variety of formats e.g. from xls and xml to web services.
