HIE requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide the following services across all of the HIE area for both its commercial property portfolio as well as HIEs own offices - rent and service charge collection, budgeting and reconciliation, management of void properties, property inspections, annual portfolio valuations, tenant liaison, rent reviews, insurance claims etc

This is Lot 1 of a 3 Lot Framework. The 3 Lots are: Lot 1 Property Management and Valuation; Lot 2 Property Marketing; Lot 3 Building Surveying

Each Lot is published separately on Public Contracts Scotland and bidders will have to register for each one individually. Each has the name ‘Property Consultancy’ in the title together with the relevant Lot number.

The Lots will offer complementary services and the successful supplier in each will be expected to work alongside the supplier(s) of the each other Lots as required. A supplier can bid for one, two or all of the lots.

The contract will be awarded under a framework agreement to a single supplier and under this agreement, no minimum workload is guaranteed. Services will be agreed on an ‘as required’ basis only.

The framework will be non-exclusive i.e. HIE reserves the right, in certain circumstances, to procure out with the Framework, as and when required.

This Framework will be awarded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) on behalf of both themselves and Inverness Campus Owners Association (ICOA). It will also be available for call-off by any current or future HIE subsidiary organisation, associated company, joint venture or similar, subject to a case-by-case prior approval by HIE. This may include, without limitation, Cairngorm Mountain Scotland Limited (CMSL) and/or Orkney Research and Innovation Campus (ORIC).

The 3-year budget currently available to deliver this service is between GBP 450 000 and GBP 585 000 (excluding VAT). The value over the whole length of the framework is not expected to exceed GBP 780 000.
