Ayrshire and Arran’s Acute Mental Health and Community Hospital is engaging with its community via local work placements and regional purchasing.
The hospital strives to support its local community by engaging with its residents, purchasing from local companies and providing employment opportunities.
To guarantee consistent delivery of these socio-economic benefits, the Client has made the requirements to have dedicated targets in place. The Portfolio Company has the obligations to deliver this set of targets with the facility’s operations and maintenance contractor.
The local procurements targets aim to spending at minimum 50% with sub-contractors that operate within a 30-mile radius of the site, and 80% with Scottish-based companies.
The local employment targets aim to attract applications from residents, offer work placements and apprenticeships to surrounding schools and colleges.
In addition, the project also researches for opportunities to provide financial support, time or business partnership with regional charities and trusts.
