Under the terms of this contract the successful supplier(s) will be required to deliver Community Benefits in support of the authority’s economic and social objectives. Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social and environmental considerations. The Community Benefits included in this contract are:

COMMUNITY BENEFITS

The contractor is required to participate in the economic and social regeneration of the locality as a means of tackling poverty and promoting inclusion. Swansea Council’s community benefit policy has been developed to create an impact on deprivation by addressing the need for more training and job placement opportunities for the economically inactive and unemployed, leading to longer term sustainable jobs. Contractors are requested to participate in this initiative. The policy is managed by the Council’s Beyond Bricks & Mortar (BB&M) team, available to facilitate achievement of community benefits.

Recruitment and Apprentices

Every vacancy on site is to be notified to BB&M at least 7 working days prior to any recruitment process being commenced and candidates identified by BB&M are to have equality of opportunity in the selection process. Beyond Bricks and Mortar can assist in filling vacancies outside of the contract and any filled in this way will count toward community benefits.

Any apprentices required by the company should be sourced through Beyond Bricks and Mortar and will count toward community benefits.

The contractor must include a minimum of 8 person weeks of training from one of the following:

• A full time apprentice, recruited through Beyond Bricks and Mortar

• One or more apprentices from the shared apprenticeship scheme, Cyfle, through Beyond Bricks and Mortar

• A heritage skills apprentice

¿ A Person-week is the equivalent of one person being employed for five days either on the development site or (with the agreement of the Council) through a mix of work on the development site and elsewhere

Unwaged Work Experience

The contractor may be requested to undertake unwaged work experience opportunities as part of the contract.
