HS2 Ltd Engineering Management System (EMS)

The EMS scope comprises the design, manufacture, supply, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of the EMS.

The EMS will be a software solution which will provide, to key operations and maintenance 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. The EMS is a critical system for the safe, efficient and reliable management of the HS2 infrastructure.

The EMS provides an integration layer with the various infrastructure systems involved on the railway operations. The main functionality of this solution is:

• 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; and
• configurable allocation of control and monitoring responsibility among different users of the system.

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.
