Inverness Campus Landscape Maintenance services
Authority: Inverness Campus Owners Association·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionA Framework has been awarded for the following landscape maintenance services at Inverness Campus. The site contains very high quality soft and hard landscaping features, including grassed areas, meadows, ponds, extensive tree planting, foot and cycle paths.
Activities will cover Soft Landscaping; Hard Landscaping; Water Areas and Winter Maintenance Activities
The Framework consists of two separate specifications to cover (1) The common areas of Inverness Campus, controlled by ICOA and (2) the HIE owned buildings within Inverness Campus, namely An Lochran, Aurora House and Solasta House. Despite the two specifications and pricing schedules, the contract will be delivered as one by the contractor.
Since this is a Framework the actual spend will vary according to the services required, weather, growing conditions and the number and size of any additional plots brought into scope. The value in II.1.7 and V.2.4 is the estimated spend over 4 years, if the optional 1 year extension is taken up. The 3 year figure used for tender evaluation was GBP 649 255.
- Recurrence: ICOA reserves the right to re-tender for these services upon termination of the Framework or at the end of the Framework period, including any extension period.
