Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Employment in Orkney - indirect community benefit to the local community in Orkney is the continued provision of twenty directly employed seafarer posts within the Towage Services provided by the Harbour Authority. In the medium term and dependant on business there is the possibility of increasing the number of towage seafarers. Training of sea and shore staff in use of new equipment and maintenance. As a consequence there will be an increase in the knowledge base of local suppliers due to new vessel/s having modern technology and therefore a requirement for a higher level of shore side backup for these vessels – both directly employed and via contractors. Running costs and whole life cycle costs incorporated into specification. Employment and welfare considerations with a requirement to meet the Health and Safety and Employment legislation and minimum/living wage or equivalent requirements of the Country of construction. Evidence of compliance with these requirements to be incorporated into stage payments regime where appropriate.
