Community Benefits
Boards are required to provide details of Community Benefits where they exist.
The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital (GJUNH) expansion projects aspire to make a positive social and economic impact, particularly within the West Dunbartonshire area, by maximising employment, training and business opportunities and supporting education activities throughout the development of the project.
All employment related requirements must be provided for and filled by New Entrants.
Opportunities should be maximised by West Dunbartonshire residents where possible.
New Entrant means:
- A person who is trained and employed to do a specific job for a minimum of 26 weeks and is leaving an educational establishment or training provider; or
- A person who is trained and employed to do a specific job for a minimum of 26 weeks that has been non-employed with no experience; or
- A person with relevant experience who has been unemployed for at least three months and is seeking employment.
The Principal Supply Chain Partners (PSCPs) are required to report on the sustainment of all employment opportunities created, in response to the agreed community benefits, on a quarterly basis throughout the duration of the expansion projects and up-to one year after project completion or until the end of the apprenticeship framework. The table below shows primary contractor targets for recruitment for the current phase of the project:
SME Development
Kier held “Meet the Buyer” events to encourage local SME’s and Third Sector Organisations (TSO’s) to be part of the expansion projects. These events were held during both the preconstruction stage and during the project delivery phase. Kier targets a minimum of 55% of work packages to be spent with local SMEs.
