Description of 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.
The Contract may be modified for reasons including but not limited to (and are regardless of monetary value):
-Re-purposing of areas and/or change of furniture/layout of area result in increased/decreased services or change of cleaning tasks;
-Changes in occupancy level that require increased or reduced services, for example third party tenants occupying or vacating space, number of employees based in the office;
-Change in any lease agreements requiring increased or reduced services or resulting in no further services required e.g. relocation, building closure, tenant procuring cleaning services directly;
-Services required at additional buildings/sites within Inverness Campus and/or areas/zones in a building e.g. services required in Suite F2;
-Services required at a different building e.g. HIE moves to another office within the local area;
-Requests from occupiers or tenants to increase or decrease service provision, including number of days and number of hours required;
-Ad-hoc cleaning required in excess of the indicative number of hours per annum stated in the Pricing Schedule
-Increase or decrease tasks to meet additional hygiene measures and/or pandemic restrictions/public health emergency;
-Addition or removal of buildings within Inverness Campus e.g. via (partial) sale of building;
-Changes in building zone boundaries resulting e.g. in re-apportionment of costs.
-Removal of services if no longer needed;
-Addition/removal of tasks which also may result in increase/decrease in number of days/hours of services required;
-Changes to task frequencies and/or cleaning schedules;
-Reapportionment of cleaning hours between sites;
-Changes to HIE’s available budget to deliver these services;
-Change of the intended usage of building areas;
-Change in requirements to accommodate temporary works to the building;
-Change of occupancy levels require more or less consumables.
In these situations, HIE will agree a price variation based on the pricing submitted as part of your bid, for example, if we remove a site, then HIE’s cost per year will reduce by the cost associated in your submitted Pricing Schedule for that site.
Modifications may result in the overall contract value being lower or higher than stated in the contract notice/contract award notice which includes HIE’s estimate at the time of tendering.
