Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) seeking providers for Off-site Records Storage & Retrieval Services. This contract, awarded on 10th August 2017, is expected to commence in August 2017 and will last for an initial period of three years, with a budget ranging from GBP 180,000 to GBP 240,000 (excluding VAT). The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the service addresses the needs of various buyers including HIE, The Crofting Commission, and the University of the Highlands and Islands, all located in Inverness, UK. This comprehensive framework contract allows for extensions of up to one year following the initial term, thus reinforcing the potential for ongoing business relationships.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in records management and storage solutions, particularly those capable of providing compliant and efficient service within the stipulated guidelines. Companies that possess the necessary authorisations, such as BS5454:2000/PD5454:2012 compliance, and have experience with public sector contracts, will be well-positioned to compete. The budget allocation and collaborative nature of this framework suggest a promising avenue for growth, particularly for businesses keen on securing multi-year contracts with public sector entities.
