- Renewal
- The contract will be for a period of 24 months commencing in July 2026. The Scottish Government may, by giving 30 days notice to the Service Provider, extend the period of the contract for up to 12 months. Subject to that constraint, the Scottish Government may extend the period of the Contract on more than one occasion.
- Options
- It is not possible to predict the number of Electricity Act Applications or the number of peat landslide hazard risk assessments that will require appraisal during the term of the contract. This is dependent on the volume and nature of applications submitted by developers, over which the Scottish Government has no control. The total value of the contract, including any extension periods, is not anticipated to exceed 500,000 GBP excluding VAT. The Scottish Government may however, at its sole discretion, increase the value of the contract by up to 20% to a maximum of 600,000 GBP excluding VAT. Any increase to the contract value may only be applied where actual demand for the services exceeds 500,000 GBP during the contract term and/or any extension periods. Any increase shall not modify the nature, scope, or specification of the services, nor shall it alter the pricing mechanism, rates, or basis of payment set out in the contract.
