Introduction for Businesses

The Glasgow City Region Community Benefits Hub aims to make it easier for Businesses to deliver Community benefits that will have a real impact on local people and communities. As a Business, you can use the website to find local causes and Requests that align with your business goals, live projects, and contribute to Corporate Social Responsibility.

Not-for-profit organisations such as schools and constituted Community Groups can make Requests for specific goods, services or resources that Businesses delivering public sector contracts can view and deliver.

Both Suppliers and Community Groups need to register to join the website, provide the required details and meet certain conditions.

You can choose to deliver a Request as part of a live contract or not.

 

Delivering a Request as part of a Contract

If you want to deliver a Requests as part of Community Benefits on a live contract with  one of our participating councils or organisations:

  • Each request on the system is worth a number of Community Benefit points that will go towards your contractual Community Benefit requirements;
  • The details of the Request you choose, how many points it is worth, and which contract you are delivering it as part of will be sent directly to the managing council or organisation once you select to deliver it.

However, you can also use the system to deliver Requests that are not part of contractual Community Benefits.

Both Suppliers and Community Groups need to register to join the website, provide the required details and meet certain conditions.
