"description": "The estimated 4,500,000 GBP value (0.9 million GBP per annum) referred to in this notice is for the whole 5 year contract duration, inclusive of extension options. The agreement will be funded by the Scottish Government and is therefore outside the scope of VAT. Fair work practices. It is a mandatory requirement of this agreement that the awarded contractor must commit to fair work practices for workers (including any sub-contractor workers) engaged in the delivery of this service and that those staff directly supporting this service will be paid the Real Living Wage. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 21185. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: It is a mandatory requirement that potential framework participants agree to support the concept, provision and ongoing development of community benefits provision in relation to this framework. Potential framework participants are required to agree to this mandatory requirement. They are also requested to provide a brief summary of the community benefits that have recently been delivered within Scotland, if at all, and also what impact and outcomes these have achieved. Potential framework participants are required to summarise any proposed community benefits that will be developed and delivered as part of this contract if successful or, alternatively, potential framework participants confirm that they will engage with the NHS Scotland's Community Benefits Gateway (CBG). This gateway, developed through requests from suppliers seeking opportunities to support the delivery of community benefits within the contracting region, provides information on community benefit opportunities. The CBG is a free and easy to use online service that connects NHS Scotland suppliers with third sector community organisations within Scotland and will be used for tracking and reporting and is an approved compliant route to the realisation of community benefits.
