This statutory guidance is issued by Scottish Ministers under section 52 of the Local Government in Scotland Act 2003. It relates only to contracting by Scottish local authorities. It is the duty of a local authority to have regard to this guidance and all other relevant legal and professional advice when exercising a power to enter into a contract. This guidance has been designed to complement the Protocol and Guidance concerning Employment Issues in relation to Public Private Partnerships in Scotland. It is also intended to support local authorities in their pursuit of Best Value, which places a premium on fair employment practice. The guidance covers the interests of local authorities, prospective contractors, and sub-contractors and is seen as an important measure in removing the scope for two-tier workforces. It seeks to ensure that sound and fair practices are adopted by local authorities during the making of decisions about how local authority functions should be exercised and by whom, and any related procurement process, and that good practice should continue during the lifetime of any subsequent contractual agreement.

This report argues that communities want to be part of the process of taking action. Agencies delivering public services need to listen and consult, but for communities themselves active engagement and making a positive contribution are what really matters. There is already practical action in many places in Scotland. What works well should be replicated more widely. Local government has important new powers to promote well-being. These, combined with the efforts of Community Planning Partners and with action to build strong safe communities and improve health in the widest sense, will make a significant difference over the next few years. Building Community Well-Being is a challenge for us all. Taking a collective approach across government and across local agencies, with communities and with local people is the way forward.
