posted on 8th Mar 2021 15:49


On 8 March 2021, HS2 began the search for a specialist contractor to deliver the high-tech monitoring systems that will enable remote supervisory control of railway assets and systems by key operational personnel. The new contract opportunity covers the design, manufacture, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of an integrated Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) solution that will be used across the whole network - and up to 25 years of technical support.

The Engineering Management System (EMS), which is principally a software system, will provide an integrated SCADA layer by consolidating multiple SCADA systems from multiple domains and contracts. This will enable the status of HS2’s railway assets and systems to be monitored in real time from the Network Integrated Control Centre in Birmingham and other key locations, facilitating both the operation and maintenance of the railway.

Worth an estimated 65 million GBP, the EMS will be one of the most advanced in the world, using diagnostic and analytical functionality for predictive maintenance enabling problems to be identified before they occur. Shortlists are set to be announced in the summer with contract award in 2022.
