The engagement, set for a six‑month period with potential extensions for on‑site surveys, requires the consultant to produce a long‑list and short‑list of options across technical, commercial, and funding dimensions, and to deliver a project schedule through to handover to maintenance. All outputs must support unanimous stakeholder agreement on the selected project delivery strategy and enable the HS1 regulatory framework to move forward with the ERTMS implementation.
