In accordance with Regulation 72(1)(a) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, HIE reserves the right to make changes to the volume, scope or location of the Services following a review of the Services by HIE, particularly with regard to demand for each Masterclass and budgetary availability. In particular, HIE reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to request the delivery of more than one Masterclass under one or more Lots up to the maximum budget for a given Lot, subject to the maximum total budget for all Lots, being GBP 300,000. The applicable budgets are as follows: GBP 150,000 for Lot 1 GBP 120,000 for Lots 2-4 Where HIE determines (at our sole discretion) that demand for Masterclasses under one or more Lots is lower than expected, HIE reserves the right to re-allocate the budget for that Lot to one or more of the other Lots, subject to the maximum total budget of GBP 300,000. The figures used in II.1.7 & V.2.4 are based on maximum budget per Masterclass of GBP50k for this Lot. (SC Ref:526774)",
