### Lot Information

Lot 1

HIE requires a professionally managed, high quality mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) maintenance service which, through a regular and organised scheme, ensures the maintenance and operation of all items of plant and equipment. These services are currently required in An Lochran, the Life Sciences Innovation Centre, Aurora House, Solasta House, the Inverness Campus, The Apex and Horizon Scotland buildings at Enterprise Park Forres as well as at The Enterprise Centre in Lochgilphead. Additional information: 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: HIE reserves the right, on giving reasonable written notice from time to time, to require changes to the Services (whether by way of the removal of Services, the addition of new Services, or increasing or decreasing the Services or specifying the order in which the Services are to be performed or the locations where the Services are to be provided). HIE shall not require any such change other than where it is permitted by Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. 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 to be supplied under the Contract 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 changes in Scottish Government policy or as a result of a direction given to them by the Scottish Government. This may result in amendments to existing requirements under the Contracts. Contract modifications may include (but are not limited to), regardless of monetary value: -Changes to mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment asset registers (such as number of assets increased/reduced; type of assets changed; asset replaced; new assets acquired). -The number of hours for reactive tasks changed from the estimated hours in the Pricing Schedule (increase and decrease). -Legislative changes require more or less frequent maintenance of certain assets. -Addition or removal of buildings within the Inverness Campus, Forres Enterprise Park or HIE Lochgilphead, likely due to lease, ownership or occupancy changes. -Changes in HIE's approach to preventative vs reactive maintenance of buildings and individual assets (increase or decrease in scope of requirements). -Changes to the available budget for Year 2,3 and 4. -CPI and Real Living Wage increases higher/lower than estimated. -Cost of potential replacement assets if procured via the supplier.
