Description

A 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.

Total Quantity or Scope

The Framework will be awarded by Inverness Campus Owners Association (ICOA) and will be available for use by themselves and Highlands and Islands Enterprise. 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 ICOA. It is expected the services will be required from April 2022 for a period of 3 years, unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Framework, with ICOA having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 calendar year following the Initial Term.

Award Detail

Renewal Options

ICOA may require the supplier to provide additional services. Any such modification shall be in terms of Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The Campus is an evolving site as it responds to development needs and some parts of the existing specification may vary in scope over the length of the contract e.g. additional hard/soft landscaping may be required, future plots may be added or a there may be a reduction in the number of undeveloped plots/landscaping required. For example, HIE has commenced construction of the Life Sciences Innovation Centre (LSIC) at Plot 20a which is due for completion in late 2022. The Supplier may be requested to provide services for this building. HIE also intends to service development plots at the remaining land at Plot 14 which could also form part of future Services.
