For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363\r\n Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/\r\n A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:\r\n It is a mandatory requirement that potential framework participants agree to support the concept, provision, and ongoing development of community benefits provision in relation to this framework.\r\n Potential framework participants are required to agree to this mandatory requirement. They are also requested to provide a summary of the community benefits that have recently been delivered within Scotland, if at all, and what impact and outcomes these have achieved.\r\n Potential framework participants are required to summarise any proposed community benefits that will be developed and delivered as part of this framework if successful or, alternatively, potential framework participants confirm that they will engage with the NHS Scotland\u00e2\u0080\u0099s 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.\r\n For further information please visit NHSS Community Benefit Gateway (https://www.nss.nhs.scot/procurement-and-logistics/sustainability/access-our-community-benefit-gateway/).\r\n (SC Ref:802172)",
