This guidance is concerned with buying services where the impact on communities and involvement of community bodies is considered to be relevant and proportionate.
Are there potential positive or negative impacts on communities as a result of providing the service procured that will require community consultation, AND/OR are there potential opportunities to enhance communities through encouragement of community initiatives and regeneration of disadvantaged communities?
For example, consultation is required regarding the potential impacts on the affected community of the intended procurement, as set out in the Community Empowerment and Renewal Act.
