"description": "Re: SPD Q3D.1, 3D.2 and 3D.3 Bidders were to answer these questions on Environmental, social and labour law in relation to compliance with the regulations covering Scotland and the UK. There were minimum requirements concerning Cyber Security for this contract, which were evaluated on a pass/fail basis. West Lothian Council is committed to maximising Community Benefits from its procurement activities. Under this procurement, the contractor, and its supply chain, were required to support the authority's economic, social and environmental objectives relating to participation in skills development, training and employment initiatives and other value-added contributions. While the Community Benefits Information was in no way scored/evaluated/taken into account beyond the requirement that it was included in the bidder's Tender Submission, if the Community Benefits Information contained any Community Benefits, these were accepted by the Authority via the contract variation process and were enforceable as part of the contract. Accordingly, where a contract was awarded to a bidder whose Tender Submission included Community Benefits, the bidder was required to deliver those Community Benefits as part of the contract. The buyer used PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code was 25136 . Please note that the values contained within II.2 are indicative only. (SC Ref:755260)",
