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 A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: With regard to community and social benefits the establishment of wood fuel supplies throughout the United Kingdom provides a number of clearly documented economic, social and environmental benefits to both the local communities and the supply chain. Due to the nature of fuel supplies, suppliers are generally locally focussed companies which encourages the use of SME's which in turn provides local employment and local procurement of goods and services within more rural areas. Community Benefits will be sought as part of the procurement exercise but they will not be evaluated as part of the award process. (SC Ref:541701)",
