Sarah Hannaford KC, Fionnuala McCredie KC and Simon Taylor all appeared in Siemens Mobility v HS2 Ltd, with the High Court dismissing all of Siemens claims in the long-running procurement challenge to HS2’s award of a contract for the provision of rolling stock to a joint venture comprising Bombardier and Hitachi. McCredie KC, Taylor and Rachael O’Hagan all acted for the claimant in Excelerate Technology v West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS University Foundation Trust, a dispute concerning the procurement of satellite and wireless equipment for emergency services.
