II.2.4) Description of the procurement

Scottish Enterprise (“SE”) is seeking to establish a support services framework of suitably qualified and experienced specialists to carry out specific projects across a range of activities in which Growth Investments (“GI”) is engaged.

GI has a periodic requirement for expert and specialist expertise on specific projects to supplement and complement the GI team in the delivery of time-critical activities across all areas of the business. Successful delivery of GI’s objectives relies upon considerable market knowledge and expertise, and the support services framework will ensure that the GI team has immediate access to specialist expertise as and when required. Successful applicants will be required to cover all of SE’s geographic area and may be working on more than one project simultaneously, so capacity to deliver is essential.

Commissions from the support services framework will relate to specific projects where time pressures exist and/or where specialist skills or input is required to ensure no commercially expensive delays or sub-optimal outcomes for GI. The requirement for support will be periodic and will involve the provision of expert input in the key areas of Investment Management and Investor & Financial Diligence, supporting GI in the delivery of its objectives.
