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: NA Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-pr... A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: The Scottish Public Sector is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce which is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and development, is diverse and inclusive, and can influence decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service delivery. Public bodies in Scotland are committed to applying the Fair Work First elements in their own organisation and in publicly funded supply chains Fair Work First is the Scottish Government’s policy for driving good quality and fair work in Scotland. Through this approach, the Scottish Government, and its public sector partners, are asking bidders to describe how they are committed to progressing towards adopting and how they intend to continue embedding the seven Fair Work First elements: appropriate channels for effective voice, such as trade union recognition investment in workforce development no inappropriate use of zero hours contracts action to tackle the gender pay gap and create a more diverse and inclusive workplace; and, providing fair pay for workers (for example, payment of the Real Living Wage). offer flexible and family friendly working practices for all workers from day one of employment oppose the use of fire and rehire practices In order to ensure the highest standards of service quality we expect suppliers to commit to adopting Fair Work First in the delivery of this contract as part of a fair and equitable employment and reward package as a route to progressing towards wider fair work practices set out in the Fair Work Framework.
