The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 28290. 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: This is the creation of a DPS and will be adding Potential Providers to a Buyers Guide. This process will not be Sub-contracted. 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 benefits may be applied at point of call off through mini-competition via the DPS.
