      Current Main Works Programme:
      
      Ecology Surveys is an emerging scope, with an estimated commencement date of March 2020. A programme of works will be issued with the Invitation to Tender to shortlisted suppliers. It is likely that there will be a requirement for monitoring presence for much of the duration of the Main Contract scope (To September 2027).
       
       Respondents to this opportunity should be advised that shortlisted applicants will be invited to tender through an external ERP system.
      
      The exact scoring criteria are currently being developed by BBVS, and shortlisted suppliers will be invited to register for the ERP system in due course.
      
      What is clear at this stage is that tenders will be scored competitively across a range of criteria, such as, but not limited to: Commercial, Programme, Methodology, HSEQ, Capability and Capacity.
       
       In 2018, Balfour Beatty, VINCI and Systra (BBVS) created a strategic alliance to deliver major infrastructure projects for HS2, in particular the Terminus at Old Oak Common.
