Summary of the contracting process

The Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), located in Inverness, UK, has completed the procurement process for the "Research Appraisal and Support Framework - Lot 1 Finance & Technical Support". This tender was initiated as an open procedure, with the framework awarded for a duration of three years and the option for a one-year extension. The estimated total value for this lot is between GBP 900,000 and GBP 933,000, excluding VAT. The services will commence from October 2017, and interested parties were required to submit their tenders by 16 May 2017.

This procurement opportunity presents considerable prospects for businesses specialising in finance and technical support services, particularly those with experience in project development and appraisal. Companies with a track record of managing similar frameworks or those that can provide consultancy services are well positioned to compete. Furthermore, as the contract is non-exclusive and may involve call-offs from subsidiary organisations, this creates further avenues for growth and collaboration, especially for smaller enterprises looking to engage with public sector contracts.
