Community benefits

What are Community Benefits?

Community Benefit clauses are:

  • Contractual requirements which deliver wider benefits in addition to the core purpose of a contract
  • A key component in maximising social, economic and environmental benefits
  • Mandated and defined for Scottish public bodies by the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014

They include:

  • Targeted recruitment and training
  • Small business and social enterprise development
  • Community engagement
