answer text <p>HS2 Ltd is the executive non-departmental public body established to develop and deliver the HS2 programme.</p><p> </p><p>This is a multi-year amalgamated service contract.</p><p> </p><p>£220,000 represents the value at which the contract was advertised – as a two year contract with a two year extension option (four years in total). It does not reflect the final service contract value. The service contract awarded has a budget of £55,000 per annum. As this is a call-off contract and the spend fluctuates on how many times HS2 is mentioned in the media the total value will not necessarily be the total spend.</p><p> </p><p>HS2 Ltd competitively tendered this contract requirement to ensure best value to the taxpayer in line with statutory and other requirements. Commercial submissions were evaluated by HS2 Ltd as part of the tender, combined with technical outputs, with the aim of ensuring best overall value was obtained. Any further breakdown of contract values is commercially sensitive and is therefore unavailable.</p><p> </p>
