Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2361 A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Community Benefits Background (from Scottish Government - Scottish Procurement Policy Note 6/2014 20th November 2014) - The Scottish Model of Procurement aims to secure the maximum economic benefit from the 10 billion UKGBP 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 has 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. - Prior to secondary legislation being introduced to implement the provisions of the Act and the transposition of the three new EU procurement Directives, maximising the impact of Scotland's procurement spending will remain front and centre in our considerations. Fair Work Practices The Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 allows Scottish Ministers to publish statutory guidance to support its implementation. Addressing Fair Work Practices, including the Living Wage, in Procurement This guidance the first element of guidance to be published under section 29 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 and applies to procurements which commence on or after 1 November 2015. Background (from the guidance) The Public Sector in Scotland is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce that is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and skills development, are diverse and is engaged in decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 10510.
