For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/\nA summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:\nFair Work First (FWF)\nThe Scottish Public Sector is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce which is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and development, is diverse and inclusive, and can influence decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service delivery.\nInnovation/Case Studies\nA case study could include an example of best practice or significant achievement on the project; an example of how innovation has been demonstrated or examples of positive outcomes resulting from the delivery of community benefits. Case studies can touch upon any areas of additional enhancement to project delivery, final product to the Council and/or end user. Case studies can include testimonials from placement participants (including under-represented groups such as disabled persons or care leavers\u201d), address fair work practices, 3rd sector/community assistance or collaboration or general innovation. Can be regarded as an extended press release (available for the Council to use in further communications). The submission and frequency will follow the Contract Management Framework reporting agreement.\nCarbon Reduction\nScotland\u0027s Climate Change Declaration and Aberdeen City Council\u2019s ambitions to become a climate positive city and move towards a just transition to a net-zero, green, wellbeing economy represent key local and national priorities.\n(SC Ref:802693)",
