NCB and Certifer to provide independent assessment services to HS2

Network Certification Body (NCB) and Certifer have been awarded a 10-year contract to provide independent assessment services to HS2, covering the design and construction of Phase 1 and Phase 2a. The contract is valued at £20 million (EUR 22.9 million).
Over the course of the next 10 years, NCB and Certifer will provide assessments for HS2’s infrastructure, stations, railway systems (including signalling), tunnels and depots to ensure the overall system is designed and built to the required safety and technical standards. The partnership of NCB and Certifer provides HS2 with a team of experienced engineers and assessors with expertise across both the UK regulatory environment and high-speed rail to deliver CSM-RA Assessment Body, Notified Body and Designated Body services.
“Winning this contract is a significant milestone for NCB and for Network Rail and we look forward to contributing to the success of HS2. … We are very proud of the partnership we’ve created with Certifer as we recognised that HS2 would get much better value for money through our collective strengths,” James Collinson, Managing Director of NCB, said.
