Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/
A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:
The Scottish Model of Procurement aims to secure the maximum economic benefit from the GBP 10 billion spent by the public sector on goods and services each year, through an approach that balances the business friendly and the socially responsible.
The Public Procurement Reform Programme delivers value that goes beyond savings and benefits – improving supplier access to public contracts, particularly for SMEs; maximising efficiency and collaboration; and placing the local, social and economic aspects of sustainability at the heart of the purchasing process.
The Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 established a national legislative framework for sustainable public procurement that supports Scotland’s economic growth through improved procurement practice – and requires public bodies to consider how their procurement activity can improve the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the authority’s area.
It also specifically requires public bodies to consider imposing community benefit requirements as part of a major contract; these might relate to, for example, employment opportunities or to sub-contracting opportunities.
Examples of Community Benefits
- Community activity – investment in buildings, resources, facilities, (new or repair), human resources
- Supporting education, learning, schools – school visits, presentations, providing resources, factory / site visits, education, training and learning
- Employment – supporting via apprentices, employing unemployed, training, skills development, supporting return to work
- Economic – support SMEs, 3rd sector / supported business indirectly, directly or via subcontracting
The Authority’s Community Benefit Process
