Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Highlands and Islands Enterprise as the buying organisation, for the tender titled "Support for Communities Framework Lot 4 - Orkney, Shetland and Caithness & Sutherland." This contract falls under the services category and is located in the UKM62 region. The procurement stage has reached completion since the contract was awarded on 28 August 2018, with a total estimated value ranging from £200,000 to £220,000 excluding VAT, and a duration of up to three years, comprising an initial two-year period with an optional one-year extension. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, which allowed for competitive bidding from various suppliers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in providing practical support and expertise to community-led organisations. Suppliers focusing on project development, delivery management, and financial services will find their services particularly relevant, given the nature of the requirements. As the framework permits multiple suppliers to be engaged, enterprises able to demonstrate capability in community support and project execution are well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement framework.

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 4 Orkney, Shetland and Caithness & Sutherland. The other Lots are as follows: - Lot 1 Inner Moray Firth and Moray - Lot 2 Argyll - Lot 3 Innse Gall - 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 & is 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.
