    "description": "LHC Procurement Group Limited is a not for profit central purchasing body acting on behalf of contracting authorities throughout Wales, England and Scotland (including partners of the Welsh Procurement Alliance) for whom we continue to monitor up to 500 live projects at any time. Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may use the framework. Welsh Procurement Alliance members now manage around 98% of Welsh social housing. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in Wales, England and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as listed on https://www.welshprocurement.cymru/who-we-work-with/, including, but not limited to Registered social landlords (RSL's), tenant management organisations (TMOs) and arm's length management organisations (ALMOs), local authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those local authorities, health authorities, councils, boards and trusts, publicly funded schools, universities and further education establishments, colleges, police forces, fire and rescue services or registered charities. WPA partners may add community benefit requirements in their call-off contracts from this Framework including but not limited to:- to generate employment and training opportunities for priority groups;- vocational training;- to up-skill the existing workforce;- equality and diversity initiatives;- to make sub-contracting opportunities available to SMEs, the third sector and supported businesses;- supply-chain development activity;- to build capacity in community organisations;- educational support initiatives The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason: The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a community benefit clause in this contract for the following reason: As this is a tender for the establishment of a framework this is not appropriate but may be included in call off contracts. A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: As a not-for-profit organisation, any surplus generated over the financial year is re-distributed into WPA's Community Benefit Fund. The fund is being utilised by our Executive Committee Members to reinvest funds generated by WPA activity back into their own communities. WPA work in partnership with Community Foundation Wales who work alongside our Members to get the best possible return for their communities. The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason: The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits in this contract for the following reason: As this is a tender for the establishment of a framework this is not appropriate but may be included in call off (WA Ref:136095) The buyer considers that this contract is suitable for consortia.",
