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 23676. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason: The contractor shall ensure that all contracts with sub-contractors and Suppliers which the Contractor intendsto procure following the Commencement Date, and which the Contractor has not, before the date of this Contract, already planned to award to a particular Sub-contractor or Supplier, are advertised through the PublicContracts Scotland procurement portal(www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk)and awarded following a fair, open, transparent and competitive process proportionate to the nature and value of the contract 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: 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 (SC Ref:725147)",
