Description

The Contract is for the Engineering Management System (EMS) of HS2’s Railway Systems category. This includes but is not limited to the provision of design, installation, testing, commissioning and ongoing technical support of the Phase One, Phase 2a and Phase 2b EMS. HS2 Ltd reserves the right to omit and/or vary technical support, Phase 2a and 2b works at its discretion.

Total Quantity or Scope

The EMS scope comprises the design, manufacture, supply, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of the EMS for the Phase One, Phase 2a and Phase 2b routes. The EMS will be a software solution which will provide, to key operations staff, remote supervisory control and monitoring of railway assets and systems. It will enable operations from the Network Integrated Control Centre (NICC) and maintenance management from different key locations. Aside from the Traffic Management System, the EMS is the single most important and critical system for the safe, efficient and reliable management of the infrastructure. The EMS provides an integration layer with the various infrastructure systems involved on the railway operations (including physical and network security) and has a major role enabling the Asset Information Management System (AIMS) and the Operational Requirements and Advisory Computational (ORAC) system functions by feeding data collected from the various EMS subsystems. The main functionality of this solution will be: • consolidated Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the end user; • alarm management for the railway infrastructure; • graphical and functional presentation of the system to different users based on their role and responsibilities; • configurable allocation of control and monitoring responsibility among different users of the system; and • providing critical decision support to operational staff through diagnostic and analytical functionality, supporting a predict and prevent approach. The Employer will require the Contractor to provide technical support services as part of a separate technical support contract. The technical support contract will be entered into at contract award but will only become effective upon successful completion of trial operations. Full details of HS2 Ltd’s requirements will appear in the Works Information which forms part of the ITT.
