answer text <p>HS2 Ltd can supply a spreadsheet that details the suppliers that they have transacted with along with a product category description that is identified during the creation of purchase orders. However, HS2 Ltd are already included in the Department’s published monthly spending transparency data, setting out data on all spending over £25k and detailing the types of services provided and the suppliers engaged in those services. Further, HS2 Ltd separately detail contract opportunities on their web site, where contracts let to date are publicly available. We therefore do not deem it appropriate to re state this already publicly available data.</p><p> </p> more like this
