## Summary

The University of the Highlands and Islands has completed the award stage for a procurement process aimed at forming a Framework Agreement for the Provision of an External Health & Safety Advisor. The contract, tagged under the education sector and services category, addresses health and safety needs spanning various academic partners across regions including Inverness, Moray, Perth, and beyond. The framework, divided into Lot 1 for General Health & Safety and Lot 2 for Fire Safety, saw its award date on 26th November 2024, with the process commencing earlier in August 2024 and extending a tender deadline to 23rd September 2024.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses by offering a structured pathway to engage in critical consultancy roles related to health and safety across multiple academic institutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like D S Fire Safety and 1st Safety Solutions, as well as larger entities like Baily Garner (Health & Safety) Ltd, have shown successful participation. Businesses with expertise in risk assessments, accident investigations and safety training, particularly those with credentials like NEBOSH diplomas or chartered IOSH memberships, are well-suited to thrive and expand through such procurement opportunities.
