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:
The award of a funded placement is dictated by parental choice therefore no work is guaranteed.
The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason:
Due to the PSA not providing a guarantee of work, community benefits are not being made mandatory within the tender. Community Benefits have been encouraged and bidders have been asked to commit to one of the community examples in Attachment 7 of the Tender Documents. Any Community benefits offered will form part of their contractual obligation and be subject to performance monitoring.
