A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: It is a mandatory requirement that Potential Contractors agree to support the concept, provision and ongoing development of community benefits provision in relation to this Contract. Potential Contractors are required to agree to this mandatory requirement. They are also requested to provide a brief summary of the community benefits that have recently been delivered within Scotland, if at all, and also what impact and outcomes these have achieved. Potential Contractors are required to summarise any proposed community benefits that will be developed and delivered as part of this contract if successful or, alternatively, Potential Contractors confirm that they will engage with the NHS Scotland’s Community Benefits Gateway (CBG). This gateway, developed through requests from suppliers seeking opportunities to support the delivery of community benefits within the contracting region, provides information on community benefit opportunities. The CBG is a free and easy to use online service that connects NHS Scotland suppliers with third sector community organisations within Scotland and will be used for tracking and reporting and is an approved compliant route to the realisation of community benefits.
