We would like to work more collaboratively with our suppliers to achieve the best possible outcome for our communities while ensuring the process is simple and beneficial for our suppliers. As this is a collaboration the community benefits are not specified at this point, however provision of Community Benefits are an integral part of the tender and must be supplied. These mandatory benefits will equate to no more than 1% of the spend with the supplier. Examples of Community Benefits that may be requested are as below. These are representative and not required examples:- - Donation of goods / materials to a local community / school - Donation of funds to a local foodbank - Provision of expertise in relation to design / maintenance of wildlife area In addition, it is acknowledged that suppliers may be able to identify areas of provision of Community Benefits that have not previously been considered and these suggestions will be welcomed. It should however be noted that the benefits to be provided are new benefits as a result of this arrangement and not continuation of an existing agreement.
