The Authority and Institutions are particularly interested in measures that Contractors propose to take to encourage:
The targeting recruitment and training of new entrants, the long-term unemployed and those further from the job market by way of apprenticeships, work placements, student internships, work experience etc.
Donations to local communities e.g., PPE donations
Educational benefits to communities, including working closely with educational establishments and community groups to maximise educational opportunities that arise through performance of the Framework Agreement, increasing awareness, skis and digital accessibility. For example, women in STEMED initiatives.
The Authority and Institutions will work with Contractors to voluntarily go beyond contractual requirements and the minimum legal requirements in pursuit of environmental and social objectives in their daily business operations.
