Notice Title

Support for Communities Framework Lot 1 - Inner Moray Firth & Moray

Notice Description

This is a Contract Award Notice and as such the procurement process has now ended. This exercise is to put in place arrangements which will provide HIE with access to external expertise to support community-led organisations to develop their capacity and deliver prioritised projects. The requirement was divided into 6 Lots procured under separate Notices - this Notice relates to Lot 1 Inner Moray Firth & Moray. The Framework is anticipated to be awarded for 2 years with an optional period not exceeding 1 year. The estimated total value over the maximum duration of 3 years will be between GBP105k and GBP115k excluding VAT. This is the figure which has been used in II.1.7 & V.2.4.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This framework will provide an alternative means of providing a range of practical support (not advice already accessible via HIE's Framework for Growth and Development - Specialist Advice) as many community-led organisations lack the capacity or a particular skills set to progress an opportunity timeously. The types of support required have been categorised as Financial; Project Development; Project Delivery/Management and Procurement. As indicated in II.1.4 this Lot relates to Lot 1 Inner Moray Firth & Moray. The other Lots are as follows: - Lot 2 Argyll - Lot 3 Innse Gall - Lot 4 Orkney, Shetland and Caithness & Sutherland - Lot 5 Lochaber, Skye & Wester Ross - Lot 6 Performance Measurement (HIE wide) Lot 6 is exempt from both The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 & was therefore being procured via a selective competitive process.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Options: 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 and budgetary availability or where HIE's strategic focus changes as a result of Scottish Government direction or a shift in policy. This may result in amendments to existing requirements or the sourcing of new types of support.

Renewal: The Framework will be awarded for an initial period of 2 years with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 calendar years following the Initial Term.
