HS2 Ltd is directly in contract with:

- a Balfour Beatty / Vinci Joint Venture (BBV JV), for two packages of Main Works Civils Contracts; and

- a Balfour Beatty / Vinci / Systra Joint Venture (BBVS JV), for the Old Oak Common station construction partner.

They are both unincorporated joint ventures. HS2 Ltd has no contractual relationship with BlackRock.
