Lot #1HIE requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide security…AwardedRenewalPublished value£592,000

HIE requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide security services for An Lochran, LSIC, Aurora House, Solasta House and Inverness Campus as detailed in the tender documentation.

This service will include foot patrols, CCTV monitoring and keyholding services at the applicable locations and can generally be split into separate specifications to cover Inverness Campus and the buildings. The objective is to procure a single security service to cover activities across all locations, and we would anticipate cost efficiencies as well as better service could be achieved, for example a reduction in alarm response times.

The initial 3 year budget currently available to deliver this service is between GBP 333,000 and GBP 444,000 (excluding VAT).

Contracts will be managed and administrated by HIE for other parties including, for example UHI (who will not be entering in to direct contracts with suppliers).

The contract will commence on 1st April 2023 for an initial period of 3 years to 31st March 2026, with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term with the 4 year expiry date being 31st March 2027.

See Tender documentation for full details. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Delivery: Scotland
Extensions: HIE reserves the right, on giving reasonable written notice from time to time, to require changes to the Services (whether by way of the removal of Services, the addition of new Services, or increasing or decreasing the Services or specifying the order in which the Services are to be performed or the locations where the Services are to be provided). HIE shall not require any such change other than where it is permitted by Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. In accordance with Regulation 72(1)(a) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, HIE reserves the right to make changes to the volume, scope or location of the Services to be supplied under the Contract following a review of the Services by HIE, particularly with regard to demand and budgetary availability or where HIE’s strategic focus changes as a result of changes in Scottish Government policy or as a result of a direction given to them by the Scottish Government. This may result in amendments to existing requirements under the Contracts. Contract modifications may include (but are not limited to): - Changes to building occupancy or activities which results in an increased or decreased security service requirement. - Changes in lease agreements or occupancy which lead to areas being permanently or temporarily vacant. - Requests from occupiers or tenants to increase service provision. - Addition or removal of buildings within the Campus. - Additional patrol frequencies (either by vehicle or foot at night) for safety and security purposes at the Campus or individual sites. - Addition of a building opening service - Requirement for a physical 24 hour security presence at the Campus - Requirement for an additional guard on either day or night duties - Removal of CCTV monitoring (either day, night or 24 hours) for monitoring by Police/Local Authority. - Changes to HIE’s available budget to deliver these services. · The Contract will be awarded for an initial period of 3 years with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 calendar year following the Initial Term.Variant bids: not allowed
