The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The project code is 19076. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343
A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363
Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2361
The potential to consider social considerations (Community Benefits) in public procurement is firmly established and set out in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
Contractors are required to work with the authority and institutions to deliver community benefits and social value where they are identifiable throughout the term of the framework agreement.
The authority and institutions are particularly interested in measures that contractors propose to take to encourage:
The targeting recruitment and training of new entrants, the long-term unemployed and those further from the job market by way of apprenticeships, work placements, student internships, work experience etc.
Educational benefits to communities, including working closely with educational establishments and community groups to maximise educational opportunities that arise through performance of the framework agreement, increasing awareness, skis and digital accessibility. For example, women in STEMED initiatives.
The authority and Institutions will work with Contractors to voluntarily go beyond contractual requirements and the minimum legal requirements in pursuit of environmental and social objectives in their daily business operations.
Contractors are encouraged to have policies in place to address community benefits, social and equality targets.
