HIE are seeking suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to provide the Facilities Management Services covering a range of services for the buildings within the Inverness Campus (both owned by HIE and/or co-owned by HIE and the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI); the common areas of the Campus (which are the responsibility of the ICOA) with some services also being for HIE Area Offices.
The requirements are being divided in to 5 Lots as follows:
- Lot 1 Planned Preventative Maintenance & Reactive Repairs Services
- Lot 2 Reception and Support Services
- Lot 3 Cleaning Services
- Lot 4 Waste Collection, Recycling and Management Services
- Lot 5 Security Services
THIS NOTICE RELATES TO LOT 5 SECURITY SERVICES.
Bidders who are interested in bidding for any of the Lots can do so by locating the respective PCS Contract Notices, which are all published on the same date with ‘Facilities Management Services’ in the contract description.
Bidders can submit a response for one or more Lot, however, they will only be awarded one Lot.
It is expected that these services will be required from 1st April 2023 for an initial period of 3 years, with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term.
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).
