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: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: East Lothian Council (ELC) is experiencing rapid growth and has an estimated annual spend of GBP150 million per annum, which gives it significant purchasing power. Through its diverse procurement activities, ELC works with suppliers to provide benefits not only to local residents of East Lothian but also to wider communities. To support this commitment, the council has approved a Sustainable Procurement Policy that emphasized the delivery of Community Benefits in Procurement. This policy is aligned with several other key plans and strategies, including the East Lothian Procurement Strategy 2023-2028, East Lothian Council Plan 2017-2027, East Lothian Poverty Plan 2021-2023, Equality Plan 2021-2025, and East Lothian Climate Change Strategy 2020-2025, which prioritize Community Benefits in Procurement as a key area of focus. ELC is dedicated to providing wider benefits to its citizens by engaging with suppliers, providers, and contractors to offer opportunities such as school links, work experience, training, apprenticeships, community project support, and assistance in achieving carbon emissions reduction and sustainability outcomes outlined in East Lothian Procurement Strategy 2023-2028 and East Lothian Climate Change Strategy 2020-2025. These principles remain at the core of the East Lothian Procurement Strategy 2023-2028 as the council seeks to address challenges related to poverty, citizen well-being, and climate change, which are central priorities to ELC general objectives. As a result, Procurement must align and support these wider outcomes. This Contract includes an obligation for the delivery of Community Benefits (once the aggregate spend with the Council reaches GBP50,000 in any financial year). The Community Benefits information will be shared with the shortlisted suppliers at Stage 2, with full details included in the Tender documentation outlining the Community Benefits that the Council is seeking as part of this Contract.
