HIE are seeking a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide planned preventative maintenance and repairs services for buildings at Inverness Campus, Enterprise Park Forres and certain services at our Lochgilphead office.

It is expected that these services will be required from 1st April 2024 for an initial period of 2 years, with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 2 years following the Initial Term (extensions expected to be taken up on a yearly basis i.e. a 2+1+1 year contract).

HIE requires a professionally managed, high quality mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) maintenance service which, through a regular and organised scheme, ensures the maintenance and operation of all items of plant and equipment.

These services are currently required in An Lochran, the Life Sciences Innovation Centre, Aurora House, Solasta House, the Inverness Campus, The Apex and Horizon Scotland buildings at Enterprise Park Forres as well as at The Enterprise Centre in Lochgilphead.

The estimated maximum Year 1 budget currently available to deliver the PPM services (Pricing Schedule Part A) is GBP 130,000 (exclusive of VAT). Bidders are required to provide pricing for Year 1 only, with Years 2, 3 and 4 subject to a price increase mechanism.

The total estimated contract value for the maximum contract period (including all optional extension periods) is GBP 720,000 (exclusive of VAT). This includes an estimated allowance for annual price increases, as well as allowances for potential costs relating to reactive repairs and asset replacement. Allowances for potential costs relating to reactive repairs and asset replacement made are not a guarantee of work.
