Contracts will be managed and administrated by HIE for other parties including, for example UHI (who will not be entering in to direct contracts with suppliers). The contract will commence on 1st April 2023 for an initial period of 3 years to 31st March 2026, with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 year following the Initial Term with the 4 year expiry date being 31st March 2027.
