For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 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: West Lothian Council is committed to maximising Community Benefits from its procurement activities. Under this procurement, the contractor, and its supply chain, will be required to support the authority’s economic, social and environmental objectives relating to participation in skills development, training and employment initiatives and other value-added contributions. Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social, economic and environmental considerations. While the Community Benefits Information will in no way be scored beyond the requirement that it is included in the bidder’s Tender Submission, if the Community Benefits Information contains any Community Benefits, these will be accepted by the Authority via the contract variation process and will be enforceable as part of the contract. Accordingly, where a contract is awarded to a bidder whose Tender Submission included Community Benefits, the bidder will be required to deliver those Community Benefits as part of the contract.
