    "description": "In compliance with procurement regulations, a draft of both the ITT and the contract is issued at this stage for information only, although these are substantially complete. The content is under review and may change when the final draft is issued at the conclusion of the 1st stage to those invited to tender. SCAPE Scotland will not enter in to any discussions regarding these draft documents or answer any questions on the content of these documents at the 1st stage. Shortlisted bidders (maximum of five (5) per Group) will have opportunity to ask clarification questions on the tender documentation during the ITT stage. SCAPE Scotland uses the Delta sourcing eTendering web portal for their procurements and this system will be used for communication, hosting procurement documentation, the SPD, and to manage the Tender stage once commenced. To access this opportunity and the tender documents, potential suppliers will be required to register for free on Delta (www.delta-esourcing.com). Once registered, potential suppliers will be able to access the opportunity by going to the Response Manager and providing the Delta Access Code: 3DGZ68C32S Potential suppliers should read this notice carefully and in full. SCAPE Scotland recognises that, as a national framework, it requires considerable investment in people, processes, and systems to create and manage expert, local, and responsive supply chains. With this is mind, a maximum framework duration has been set at 5 years. 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: Although the overall framework value is above 4 million GBP, SCAPE Scotland anticipates that individual call-off contracts will fall below 4 million GBP. 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: Community benefit requirements will be included in this contract. The successful bidder(s) will be required to deliver benefits proportionate to the call-off contract that support the authority's social, economic, and environmental objectives. Examples may include (but are not limited to): employability and skills initiatives such as traineeships, apprenticeships and work placements; support for local SMEs and social enterprises through capacity-building workshops; innovation and knowledge transfer activities; and environmental volunteering.
