II.1.5)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Many universities in Scotland enter into risk sharing arrangements with private sector developers to lease, guarantee or in some way underwrite the risk of letting student places. This allows those universities to reserve places for their students making their university more attractive to students choosing courses. It also provides the developers with a reduced risk of letting voids in their development. The university is therefore seeking expressions of interest from tenderers with suitable experience and sufficient financial resources who may be interested in submitting a tender for the provision of student residences in the expectation that similar risk sharing arrangements will be secured from the university.
