Publisher note: Suppliers are advised to allow adequate time for uploading documents and to dispatch the electronic response well in advance of the closing time to avoid any last minute problems. A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason: It is not thought to be feasible for operators to offer community benefits in a tender of this nature. This does not however prohibit operators from voluntarily offering such benefits but would be outwith the requirements of this contract. (SC Ref:779980)
