Recognising our suppliers
HS2 is Britain’s largest infrastructure project and our supply chain is vital to our success.
We have launched a supplier recognition scheme ‘delivering excellence on HS2’ to recognise the supply chain’s contribution to the delivery of HS2. This scheme aims to recognise suppliers who have gone above and beyond.
The scheme to nominate is open all year round, with recognition taking place quarterly.
