Provision of Non-Life Insurance

Tender description

UHI North Highland, UHI West Highland and UHI Outer Hebrides were named on the 'Provision of Non-Life Insurance to the University of the Highlands and Islands'. At the time of the tender exercise in 2020, there was no awareness of a possible merger between UHI North Highland, UHI Outer Hebrides and UHI West Highland. This means that a statement regarding the merger of UHI Partners was not added to the tender documentation, as it was not foreseen as a possibility. A contract amendment is deemed appropriate due to all 3 Partners having been named on the current contract. In terms of the merger, the college previously known as UHI North Highland has become the host college. Therefore, elements of the contract for UHI West Highland and UHI Outer Hebrides are required to be novated to UHI North Highland. Moreover, the overall nature of the contract is not altered. In addition, the contract modification does not exceed 50% of the original contract value.
