Our value of ‘one team spirit’ focuses on building strong relationships and commits to providing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for our Supply Chain.

Diversifying our supply chain

We support local businesses, communities, and regional economies, working with several major contractors who rely on smaller suppliers to deliver services across HS2 Ltd. Many businesses are often local to our sites, supporting our local economy and reducing our environmental impact.

Our varied work requires a wide range of skills from across the construction, infrastructure, engineering, and logistics sectors.  Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) form part of our supply chain and this diversification ensures that our supply chain is robust, flexible, and innovative.  

Recently, SCSJV was recognised for the role it is playing to build a supply chain that reflects the communities in which they operate by winning HS2 Minority-owned Business Champion award. To date, the company has awarded contracts totalling £135m to minority owned businesses in their local area and has placed a strong focus on ensuring small firms have every opportunity to thrive by providing access to free training and business development opportunities. 

Responsible Procurement

We are committed to ensuring that the procurement of works and materials achieves value for money, while generating benefits to society and the local economy, all whilst minimising the environmental impact of our work. We promote sustainability and continuous improvement, measuring end-to-end quality, innovation, and performance of our Supply Chain.

Become a Supplier

We are looking for supply chain partners aligned to our values and sustainable working practices. With an integrated, safe, ethical, diverse, and value-driven supply chain, we can successfully deliver on our HS2 commitments. We want our supply chain to choose to work with us and to be a ‘customer of choice.’

Supply Chain Development

We are passionate about upskilling, leaving a legacy of project-Lifecyle learning. Some of our supply chain development programmes targets SMEs. By helping smaller contractors understand what the market expects from them, what they may be capable of supplying, and where they sit in the infrastructure supply chain, we demystify the Rail infrastructure sector and remove barriers to entry.

We use a range of engagement opportunities such as Meet the Buyer events, meetings, workshops, and conferences. Representatives from SCS JV and our major contractors attend these events to discuss our projects and upcoming supply chain opportunities.
