Total Quantity or Scope

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).
