The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason:

The Contracting Authority recognises that community benefits are a key component in maximising social, economic and environmental benefits. The achievements and delivery of community benefits can contribute to the University of Strathclyde’s Strategic Plan.

The Contracting Authority proposes to use a voluntary approach to community benefits for this requirement; this approach is to encourage the tenderer to offer community benefits post tender. These will not form part of the contractual obligation and will not form part of the considerations at tender evaluation stage.

The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the successful tenderer either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations. The Contracting Authority may at its sole discretion exercise this option.

The terms and conditions governing this contract will be the University of Strathclyde's Standard conditions of purchase for goods and services, and the additional terms of contract at Part 2 of the invitation to tender.
