The University wishes to invite tenders to supply and work with the University in a Research Collaboration Project. The subject of the Project is the evaluation of technologies for the production of adherent, hard, inorganic antimicrobial coatings. The Research Collaboration Project will be guided by a Research Collaboration Agreement. The Research Collaboration Agreement will be added to the University of the Highlands and Islands' Terms and Conditions of Contract as an Appendix. It should be noted that the detailed terms and conditions will be discussed and agreed following contract award. The University does not have a standard Research Collaboration Agreement which can be shared. However, the University can advise the following in terms of the process for the drafting of the Research Collaboration Agreement: - The University and the successful Bidder would agree Heads of Terms, which would lay out the future intentions between the University and the successful Bidder. This would not be legally binding. - The Heads of Terms will include clauses relating to project scope and timescales, confidentiality, the governing law and dispute resolution and third-party rights. The proposed template to be elaborated by both parties is available on the UK Government website on https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/552682/Heads-of-Terms-for-Collaboration-Agreements.docx - The Heads of Terms would form the basis of a legally binding Research Collaboration Agreement (RCA), which would be added to the UHI Terms and Conditions of Contract as an Appendix. In the event of a conflict of clause, the Research Collaboration Agreement would take precedence. The RCA will likely include detail such as, but not limited to: - Purpose of agreement - Scope and duration - Decision owners - Types of resources - Any risks - Agreement on IP ownership - foreground and background - Research publishing model - Mode of working together - Data exchange - Visits - Addition of new partners - Termination In terms of the coatings, these will be applied primarily, but not exclusively, to healthcare products such as surgical instruments and implants. The successful Bidder (the Contractor) will work with the University under the terms of an agreed Research Collaboration Agreement. In terms of space and utilities, the apparatus will be placed in the Life Sciences Innovation Centre, in Inverness. This building is currently under construction with an estimated handover date of December 2022.. This requirement is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, European Structural and Investment Funds 2014-2020 Programme Scotland.

Renewal: Research Collaboration Agreement: 2 x 12 month periods Service and Maintenance Contract: 2 x 12 month periods

                "description": "The University wishes to invite tenders to supply and work with the University in a Research Collaboration Project. The subject of the Project is the evaluation of technologies for the production of adherent, hard, inorganic antimicrobial coatings. The Research Collaboration Project will be guided by a Research Collaboration Agreement. The Research Collaboration Agreement will be added to the University of the Highlands and Islands' Terms and Conditions of Contract as an Appendix. It should be noted that the detailed terms and conditions will be discussed and agreed following contract award. The University does not have a standard Research Collaboration Agreement which can be shared. However, the University can advise the following in terms of the process for the drafting of the Research Collaboration Agreement: - The University and the successful Bidder would agree Heads of Terms, which would lay out the future intentions between the University and the successful Bidder. This would not be legally binding. - The Heads of Terms will include clauses relating to project scope and timescales, confidentiality, the governing law and dispute resolution and third-party rights. The proposed template to be elaborated by both parties is available on the UK Government website on https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/552682/Heads-of-Terms-for-Collaboration-Agreements.docx - The Heads of Terms would form the basis of a legally binding Research Collaboration Agreement (RCA), which would be added to the UHI Terms and Conditions of Contract as an Appendix. In the event of a conflict of clause, the Research Collaboration Agreement would take precedence. The RCA will likely include detail such as, but not limited to: - Purpose of agreement - Scope and duration - Decision owners - Types of resources - Any risks - Agreement on IP ownership - foreground and background - Research publishing model - Mode of working together - Data exchange - Visits - Addition of new partners - Termination In terms of the coatings, these will be applied primarily, but not exclusively, to healthcare products such as surgical instruments and implants. The successful Bidder (the Contractor) will work with the University under the terms of an agreed Research Collaboration Agreement. In terms of space and utilities, the apparatus will be placed in the Life Sciences Innovation Centre, in Inverness. This building is currently under construction with an estimated handover date of December 2022.. This requirement is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, European Structural and Investment Funds 2014-2020 Programme Scotland.",
