Delivering environmental and socio-economic benefits through the Facilities Services Management Contract for the Scottish Government estate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Scottish Government uses the power of procurement to improve the lives of people in Scotland by placing sustainability at the heart of the procurement process.<\/p>\n

Our Facilities Services Management Contract, awarded in 2021, will deliver a range of sustainability outcomes over its duration, including environmental benefits, equality and fair work practices, community benefits, and opportunities for SMEs and sub-contracting. The Procurement Team embedded sustainability into the contract through early engagement with stakeholders and sustainability experts, and through utilisation of the Sustainable Procurement Tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can read more about their procurement process and the benefits secured over on the new Case Studies section<\/a> of the Sustainable Procurement Tools website.<\/p>\n
