The Supplier Development Programme (SDP) was delighted to
contribute to discussions aimed at helping local businesses in South
Lanarkshire capitalise on a £3.6 billion wave of investment in
renewable energy. The event focused on three core work streams -
supply chain collaboration, skills and STEM engagement, and
transport management planning – all aimed at ensuring investment
translates into lasting economic benefits for the region. With an
estimated £1.2 billion expected to be spent on construction alone, the
forum highlighted the significant potential for hundreds of millions of
pounds to flow directly into the local supply chain. It provided a
valuable platform to explore how best to unlock these opportunities for
South Lanarkshire-based firms.

community outcomes
NHSL to review the current community benefits section of
the procurement system and engage with some large
contracts to review any benefits delivered or identify gaps.
Between April and September 2025, 4 new community needs from
Lanarkshire, were added onto the NSS portal. There were also 2
needs removed from the portal after being live for the maximum period
of 1-year.
Procurement identified a selection of larger contracts with community
benefits associated with them and 3 of these were considered
appropriate to contact service managers with a mini-audit document.
Some limited feedback has been received and will be used to inform
next steps into the work required to maximise the use of the portal.

Achieve our target for properties purchased through Market
Purchase Scheme.
The Strategic Housing Investment Plan for 2025-2030 set a target for
90 additional homes to be acquired from the private sector in 2025/26.
The council is well on track to achieving this, with efforts being made
to maximise the number of homes acquired this financial year. Over
£6m in national funding is anticipated to be utilised throughout the year
to support the acquisition of the homes in addition to the capital spend
from the Housing Revenue Account.

Continuous assessment
of regeneration priorities
as part of Local Housing
Strategy process.
Considered as part of annual review of Local Housing
Strategy.
Following completion of the housing led Whitlawburn regeneration
project in 2022/23, no further priority areas have been identified within
the council's Affordable Housing Supply Programme.
The current focus of the programme remains to meet increasing
housing need across priority areas, with further developments relating
to regeneration to be included as part of the annual review of the Local
Housing Strategy 2022-27.
Green
Identified priority projects included as part of SHIP
development.
Focus for the council’s current Affordable Housing Supply Programme
remains on delivering over 1,000 additional council homes by March
2027, with the overarching aim to help meet significantly increased
demand for affordable housing. Within the final stages of the
programme there are no proposed housing led regeneration projects,
with any future work on this area to be set out within future updates to
the Local Housing Strategy.
Green
Ensure priority projects are included as part of the
preparation of the next Local Development Plan 3
Preparation of LDP3 will involve extensive consultation with Council
services and partners to ensure projects that will deliver the aims and
objectives of the Council and Community Plans are identified and
included in the plan. A key part of the LDP process now includes the
preparation of a delivery programme to set out how the LDP will be
implemented and achieve key outcomes. It is anticipated that the
evidence report will be presented to full Council in December 2025 and
thereafter submitted to Scottish Ministers for approval. Work on the
proposed plan will start in early 2026.

Work with partners, including Home Energy Scotland, to
provide advice and support to owners and private landlords
on funding opportunities available to them.
Through the existing partnership networks, Housing and Technical
Resources continue to support owners and private landlords on
opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of their home and
reduce costs associated with heating.
This includes the utilisation of national Energy Efficient Scotland: Area
Based Scheme funding.
In addition, the Resource hosts the twice annual Private Landlord
Forum, with expert presenters attending to provide advice and answer
questions on energy efficiency standards and grant funding
opportunities to South Lanarkshire private landlords. The most recent
forum was held in March 2025, with over 60 landlords attending from
across South Lanarkshire.
The Council has recently launched a new Energy and Retrofit Support
service, supported by the social enterprise Changeworks, and funded
from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This pilot scheme aims to help
residents make their homes warmer, more energy-efficient, and
affordable to run, and to remove barriers to enable retrofit.
Changeworks will provide a helpline, through which residents can
access advice on energy use, home retrofit, and sustainable
technologies.

Unassigned
and community partners
to promote savings and
affordable credit
Promote the NHS credit union and other local credit unions
through the anchor communications plan.
As part of the Anchor Communications work, the Staff Brief has been
utilised to promote the NHS Credit Union on 7 occasions, linked to
wider messages including; UK Savings Week, Challenge Poverty
Week and benefits of saving when receiving a pay-rise.
Promotion of the NHS Credit Union has been embedded into the NHS
Lanarkshire “Tackling Poverty: Everyone’s Business” training sessions,
delivered to staff and teams across the organisation.
Targeted work continues, sharing key messages with staff groups not
always accessing emails. This is done through managers who share
the information verbally or via team newsletters e.g. hotel services
staff.
An all staff online session is being prepared and promoted to take
place during Talk Money Week 2025. Provision is being made to book
spaces within acute sites, where staff can join the session even if they
don’t have access to individual laptops.

We will look to
encourage Council
employees who live
locally to spend locally.
Publicity campaign(s) to explain the benefits of local spend
for local SMEs and communities.
Internal communications in the run up to Christmas will encourage
employees to think and spend local over the festive period.
Green
Continue the PB
approach embedded in
practices over recent
years.
Continue PB across Council Services to ensure local spend
decisions are made by local people.
The PB approach continues across the Council in 2025/2026 and will
include spend on Roads projects, PEF funded projects in schools,
Grounds Services, projects within the Housing capital programme and
the Our Place Our Plan allocation of small grants.

4.3.3. The Annual Report also outlines the Council’s arrangements to ensure compliance,
transparency and Value for Money. 
4.4 Section 4: Community Wealth Building and Community Benefits 
4.4.1. This section of the annual report has been developed to focus on procurement
outcomes from the Community Wealth Building Strategy, including levels of local
spend. Local spend improved from 19% in 2023/2024 to 25% in 2024/2025,
representing £108m of spend with local enterprises. There are a number of local
enterprises with positive improved spend positions in comparison to last year,
including social care providers, vehicle purchases, transport contractors and
construction companies.  In addition, data cleansing and improved definition of local
companies with the National Observatory data analytics has contributed to the
improved position. 
4.4.2. The Council’s approach to secure Community Benefits is outlined in the Annual
Report. In 2024/2025, 339 Community Benefit commitments from 109 contracts are
detailed, in comparison to 131 Community Benefits secured in 2023/2024 from 31
contracts. Case studies of appropriate projects are included, including contracts with
Findel Education and Wellwood Communications. The delivery status of Community
Benefits is also included. 
4.5. Section 5: Sustainable Procurement and Supported Businesses
4.5.1. This section of the report provides an update on the Council’s progress in embedding
the Scottish Government’s sustainable procurement tools and examples of
sustainable outcomes. Positive sustainable outcomes in procurement include
compliance with Fair Work First guidance, provision of guidance to Resources for
sustainability questions to support the mandated 30% sustainability score in tenders
and use of the sustainability test to embed sustainability measures in the Passenger
Transport, Boiler and New Build Housing tenders. 
4.5.2. The Council’s responsibility to facilitate the involvement of supported businesses in
procurement is also outlined in this section. Supported businesses are enterprises
whose main aim is to integrate disabled or disadvantaged people socially and
professionally. Their workforce must be at least 30% disabled or disadvantaged, as
specified in EU Directive 2014/24/EU. The Council’s contractual activity with supported
businesses and social enterprises is noted, including Haven Products, Hey Girls and
Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company.

4.6. Section 6: Future Planning
4.6.1. A summary of the regulated procurements the authority expects to award in the next
two years, including renewals and new contracts, is included in Appendix 3 of the
report, which has been developed following procurement service planning consultation
with Resources. 
4.6.2. The procurement programme for 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 contains a significant
volume of projects, including high value construction, IT and economic development
projects and continuing phases of the various Education and Social Care long-term
Procured Service Arrangements. 
4.7. Section 7: Further information
4.7.1. Information to be included in this section is not prescribed, however, the Council has
highlighted several areas, including local and SME spend analysis and invoicing and
e-invoicing performance information for 2024/2025. 
4.7.2. As referenced at 4.4.1, spend in the South Lanarkshire area (for all contractors,
including SMEs) increased to 25%. 
4.7.3. A geographical analysis of spend is included in the annual procurement report and
quantifies spend for the wider Lanarkshire area (35%), Glasgow City Region (51%)
and across Scotland (63%): positively, spend retained within the Glasgow City Region
increased by 6% in 2024/2025. 
4.7.4. The Procurement Service continue to work in partnership with the Economic
Development Service and the Supplier Development Programme to improve the
participation of local SMEs in Council contracts, an area of focus in the spend pillar of
the Council’s Community Wealth Building strategy. 
4.7.5. An analysis of the impact on local spend through collaborative arrangements is also
included in the annual report, noting that £5.8m (13%) of South Lanarkshire Council
spend via Scotland Excel frameworks is with local enterprises, a decrease from £6.7m
in 2023/2024. In 2024/2025, £69m of spend was directed to South Lanarkshire
companies from Scotland Excel in total (spend via all local authorities), a slight
decrease from £70m in 2023/2024. 
4.7.6. Council spend with Hub South West reduced to £1.9m in 2024/2025 (of which no
spend was with local enterprises), compared to £10.6m in 2023/2024 (£2.7m of local
spend). However, Hub South West’s total sub-contracted spend in South Lanarkshire
increased from £4.1m to £33.8m, confirming the wider economic benefits from
collaboration. 
5. Employee Implications
5.1. There are no employee implications associated with the report. 
6. Financial Implications
6.1. The financial implications of procured spend is accounted for within Council budgets.

1. Introduction 
South Lanarkshire Council’s Procurement Service supports the delivery of works,
supplies and services across the Council and has a vital role in ensuring services
operate efficiently and effectively. 
The report details the Council’s regulated procurement activity for the period 1 April
2024 to 31 March 2025, as required by the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act
2014. During this period, the Council’s total procured spend was £476m. 
Our annual report will publish the Council’s performance in procurement activity by
providing the following information:
• a summary of regulated procurements, including all procurements over
£50,000.
• a review of whether those procurements complied with our published
Procurement Strategy and where they did not, a statement on how we intend
to achieve compliance.
• a review of Community Wealth Building activity and summary of Community
Benefits achieved.
• a summary of progress in facilitating the involvement of Supported
Businesses.
• a summary of future regulated procurement, including all procurements over
£50,000 expected to commence in the next two financial years. 
The Procurement Service continued to support Council services through challenging
financial conditions while continuing to focus on the seven objectives of the Council’s
Procurement Strategy:   
Compliance
Value for
Money 
Collaborate
Contract and
Supplier
Management 
Fair Work
First
Sustainable
and Ethical
Community
Wealth
Building

2. Regulated Procurement Activity 
A regulated procurement is defined by the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014
as any procurement with an estimated value of over £50,000 for supplies or services
or over £2m for works contracts. A regulated procurement is complete when the
contract award notice is published and can include new contracts and framework
agreements. 
In addition, regulated procurements will be subject to the Public Contracts (Scotland)
Regulations 2015 where they meet the appropriate thresholds. The Council must
follow the relevant procurement rules in respect of planning through to contract
award, as detailed in Section 3: Regulated Procurement Compliance. 
In total, the Council awarded 213 contracts over £50,000 in 2024/2025, with a total
award value of £250m, as listed in Appendix 1 (excluding the value of long term
frameworks, Dynamic Purchasing Systems and Procured Spend Arrangements).
This includes both regulated and non-regulated contracts, with the Council
publishing all awards over £50,000 in this Annual Procurement Report for
transparency. All live contracts are published in the Council’s online contract register
regardless of value. 
36

Page 37

3. Regulated Procurement Compliance 
The Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 requires all contracting authorities to
publish a Procurement Strategy. 
2024/2025 was the second year of our Procurement Strategy 2023-2028, which aims
to promote best practice across all procurement activity, while supporting the
Council’s priorities set out in the strategic plan “Connect”. The strategy is supported
by an Action Plan to ensure compliance for all procurement activity, including
regulated procurements, and is subject to annual review to reflect new legislative
requirements, innovation and updated priorities. 
A summary of the Council’s strategic procurement objectives is included in Appendix
2. Progress in achieving our Procurement Strategy action plan is monitored by the
Council’s Corporate Management Team and Finance and Corporate Resources
Committee. 
Key achievements in 2024/2025 included:
• Continuation of the Council’s Procured Spend Review project, with efficiencies of
over £2.5m achieved since 2021.
• Increased level of spend with local enterprises from 19% to 25% in 2024/2025,
representing £108m spent locally, of which £86m was with SMEs. 
• Implementation of the Council’s new financial management system “Oracle Fu-
sion” from April 2024. The new system contributes to improved procurement
compliance through an integrated Contract Register with workflow authorisation
for contract awards, with spend linked to contract value.
• Continued delivery of payment of Living Wage in all Social Care and Early Learn-
ing contracts, uplifted in April 2024. 
• Improved monitoring the Community Benefits delivery through our new software
“Cenefits”. 
Procurement Compliance and Transparency 
The Council’s procurement activity, including regulated procurements, is undertaken
in accordance with a legal and procedural framework to ensure compliance with the
procurement regulations. Legal requirements are underpinned by the Council’s
Standing Orders on Contracts and procedural arrangements are as set out in the
Scottish Government’s Procurement Journey.   
Additional governance and monitoring arrangements for regulated procurements
ensure a robust structure is in place to ensure compliance. At a practical level this
consists of the preparation and authorisation of sourcing strategies and tender
documentation through to robust arrangements for authorisation of awards. To
maintain the highest standards of transparency, the Council’s Standing Orders on
Contracts mandate that all contract awards over £50,000 are reported to Committee,
with all reports available in the public domain. The Council also maintains a publicly
accessible online contracts register with access to all contract awards of all values
and we continue to publish our register monthly to ensure transparency. 
37

Page 38

The Council also has a scrutiny review structure in place to review tendering and
award arrangements for high-risk procurements. These arrangements provide
assurance that all regulated procurements were materially compliant with the
strategy. 
The Council monitors contractual compliance, with 96% of 2024/2025 spend over
£50,000 with contracted suppliers. Arrangements to monitor and control spend
compliance to contracts have been improved following the implementation of Oracle
Fusion and a quarterly review process is in place to identify and resolve spend with
non-contracted suppliers. 
Value for Money 
Value for Money in contractual arrangements is a key strategic objective of the
Procurement Service and a review of procured spend is one of the Council’s key
efficiency review areas led by the Corporate Management Team. 
The review set ambitious targets to review procured spend across all Council areas
and seek deliverable revenue efficiencies: either through review of existing
contractual arrangements or by putting new contracts or collaborative agreements in
place. In the previous three-year period, total efficiencies of £2.5m have been
identified.

4. Community Wealth Building and Community Benefits 
Community Wealth Building
The Council’s Community Wealth Building Strategy was approved by the Council in
2021 and sets out five strategic pillars to develop resilient local economies. The
“spend” pillar seeks to use the purchasing power of the Council and other local
anchor institutions to improve local spending and deliver positive impacts on
employment opportunities: the Procurement Service and our colleagues in Economic
Development are responsible for delivering the actions for this pillar. 
Key achievements for the Procurement Service in 2024/2025 included:
• £108m spent in the local South Lanarkshire economy, an increase from £67m
in 2023/2024 and improving spend levels with local enterprises to 25% of core
trade spend.
• Continuing to focus on the use of Quick Quote for Works up to £2m to
improve the engagement of local enterprises in Council tenders, with 9 local
awards totalling £1.7m through this route.
• Engagement with local suppliers with the Supplier Development Programme
including participation in Meet the Buyer events, Build Lanarkshire and pre-
tender opportunity events. 
• Promotion of subcontracting opportunities for local enterprises with Scotland
Excel framework opportunities and HubSW projects. 
Community Benefits
Community Benefit clauses require contactors to deliver long term sustainable social
and economic benefits to the South Lanarkshire community, while demonstrating
Best Value in contract awards. 
The Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 requires the Council to consider
Community Benefits for contract values over £4m, however, the Council will consider
inclusion of Community Benefits in all regulated tenders (over £50,000), regardless
of value, where appropriate to the supplier, value and duration of the contract. 
Consideration of Community Benefits is embedded in the Council’s Sourcing
Strategy and clearly stated in the tender documents to ensure transparency and
fairness in the evaluation process. 
The Council has a points-based system to target Community Benefits, with the
number of points based on the value and duration of the contract. Suppliers select
appropriate community benefits from the Council’s menu of deliverables, including
employability through apprenticeships, work placements, local employment and
engagement with local and SME subcontractors in the supply chain. Since 2023, the
Council’s Community Benefit points menu has included scope for commitments from
the Community Wish List.   
In April 2024, the Council went live with a new monitoring system for Community
Benefits called “Cenefits” which enables delivery of Community Benefit commitments
to be monitored with contracted suppliers. A series of engagement events with
Council suppliers were held with the Supplier Development Programme to launch the
39

Page 40

Cenefits system and the successful implementation has enabled significant
improvements in the Council’s monitoring and delivery of Community Benefits. 
Of the contracts awarded in 2024/2025, 109 had specific Community Benefit
outcomes, with the benefits committed detailed below. Also included in Community
Benefit delivery this year was fulfilment of 51 wishes from the Council’s Community
Wish List.

Page 42

Delivery of Community Benefits are underway, with Wellwood Communications
having already undertaken mentoring of a local SME, Crawford Decoration, for four
months. Wellwood shared expertise and guidance to the SME in their ambition to
develop and grow their business. This included providing support in professional and
personal development to the business and its staff team. The mentorship included
guidance on planning for the future, managing money, leadership and personal
growth, solving problems creatively and building community connections. 
Crawford Decoration have found the support “invaluable, with mentorship and
guidance…over the past months…the support we received from Drew at Wellwood
has significantly enhanced both my business operations and personal growth.” 
In addition to this mentorship, Wellwood Communications have also engaged with
three other local SMEs in their supply chain and have made their supply chain
requirements known locally to increase opportunities across South Lanarkshire.
SMEs in East Kilbride, Lanark and Hamilton have been engaged in their supply
chain as a result. Wellwood Communications have also reached out to local schools
and have provided opportunities to high school pupils for mock interview
opportunities. Wellwood Communications developed a mock interview session,
taking pupils through the process as well as providing valuable feedback from the
session to support pupils to continue to develop their interview skills. 
The Council continues to work with Wellwood Communications to progress the
remaining Community Benefits committed and will continue to ensure the delivery of
meaningful and impactful community benefits across South Lanarkshire.

5. Sustainable Procurement and Supported Business Summary 
Sustainable Procurement 
One of the Council’s key strategic objectives is “Sustainable and Ethical” in
recognition of our responsibility to secure wider social, economic and environmental
benefits through contracts, as set out in the Sustainable Procurement Duty. 
The Council uses the Scottish Government’s Sustainable Flexible Framework to
measure organisational progress in embedding sustainable outcomes: the
framework measures performance across the following areas:
• People: training on sustainable procurement tools is progressing across the
organisation (level 4 achieved)
• Objective, Strategy and Communications: sustainable procurement duty
embedded in Procurement Strategy (level 4 achieved)
• Process: using prioritisation and sustainable toolkits to focus on outcomes at
category and contract level and sustainability scoring improved (level 3
achieved)
• Stakeholders: improved engagement for stakeholders (level 3 achieved) 
• Monitoring and Reporting: on sustainable procurement outcomes through
procurement strategy and annual report (level 3 achieved) 
Prioritisation Tool 
The outcome from the Council’s Prioritisation analysis is detailed below: this
identifies the categories of spend where the Council has scope to improve
sustainable outcomes and influence in the market to achieve this. This analysis will
guide future procurement strategies, focusing on areas of climate impact such as
Construction and Waste Management and those areas with social and economic
impacts, including Social Care and Early Learning. 
• Risk: relevance of overall sustainability risk/relevance (environmental, socio-economic and reputational) to procure-
ment category
43

Page 44

• Scope: How much scope is there to improve the sustainability of procurement of this category
• Influence: level of influence your organisation might have over the market to improve sustainability outcomes 
Examples of good sustainable practice this year include: 
• Continued focus on Fair Work First principles, complying with the seven key
priorities set out by Scottish Government
• Ensuring Real Living Wage paid in social care and early learning contracts,
which accounts for £151m (35%) of council spend. 
• Continuing to embed the Sustainable Procurement Tools, focusing on the
publication of guidance for sustainability questions to support our mandatory
30% sustainability score. 
• Completion of sustainability test to identify key sustainability measures in
Passenger Transport, Boiler and New Build Housing tenders. 
• Rollout of sustainability tender training to 70 contract managers across the
Council. 
Supported Business Engagement 
The involvement of Supported Businesses and Social Enterprises is included in the
strategic objective of “Sustainable and Ethical” and engagement is considered in the
Council’s Sourcing Strategy for new tenders. 
In 2024/2025, the Council’s spend with registered charities totalled £52m,
representing 12% of core spend, an increase from 10% in 2023/2024. We continued
to support Supported Business and Social Enterprises, including: 
Haven Products: Supported Business
The Council has a contract with Haven Products until December 2025 for production
of Homecare uniforms, with an estimated value of £0.180m. Haven Products is a
supported business, providing employment opportunities to disabled people. 
Royal British Legion: Supported Business
The Council has a four-year contract in place with Scotland’s Bravest for signage
manufacture until March 2026, with an estimated value of £0.160m. Scotland’s
Bravest are a supported business supporting veterans with disabilities to develop
new skills, regain independence and earn in a supportive commercial environment. 
Hey Girls Social Enterprise
Hey Girls are based in Dunbar, founded by a mother and her two daughters to
address period poverty through a “Buy One, Give One” social enterprise model. The
Council has four-year contract in place with Hey Girls through the Scotland Excel
Washrooms and Sanitary Framework. Hey Girls continue to be a key supplier in
achieving the Scottish Government’s period poverty targets and the Council’s spend
in 2024/2025 was £0.130m.

6. Future Regulated Procurements
The Council’s activity over the next two years in regulated procurement will include
existing contracts which are due to be extended or re-let and new tenders. Appendix
3 provides a list of anticipated future procurements over £50,000 in value.   
The Council continues to develop the use of our long-term flexible framework model
of Procured Service Arrangements for light touch services, including Social Care and
Education. The Council is also extending the use of Dynamic Purchasing Systems
and working closely with the Scottish Procurement Alliance, Procurement for
Housing and Scotland Excel to identify future collaborative opportunities. 
The following provides some examples from the wide range of projects detailed in
Appendix 3 that illustrate the diverse range of commodities and services being
procured by the Council, including:
• Adult and Children’s social care services  
• Early Learning and childcare
• Construction and maintenance contracts for property and roads
• Purchase and maintenance of fleet and vehicles
• Waste recycling and disposal

7. Further Information
Procurement Performance information 
The Council reports on a range of performance indicators, including the level of
procurement spend with local companies (based within the South Lanarkshire area)
and SMEs (small and medium enterprises). 
The Council’s spend with South Lanarkshire enterprises (including both SME and
larger companies) increased from 19% in 2023/2024 to 25% in 2024/2025,
representing £108m of spend in the local area. Spend with South Lanarkshire based
SMEs at £86m increased from 17% to 20% and spend with SMEs generally
(including those outwith South Lanarkshire) increased by 1%. The Council’s
Community Wealth Building Strategy continues to target further improvements in
local spend levels. 
Indicator 2022/2023 2023/2024 2024/2025
Core Trade spend £351m £346m £433m
Core spend in South Lanarkshire area 18% 19% 25%
Core spend with South Lanarkshire SMEs 17% 17% 20%
Core spend with SMEs 49% 50% 51%  
(Source: National Observatory) 
In addition to our direct spend with suppliers in the local area, we are also working
towards identification of subcontracted local spend with our tier one contractors,
particularly in major construction projects. Although the Council’s spend with Hub
South West in 2024/2025 reduced to £1.9m, Hub South West’s sub-contracted
spend to South Lanarkshire enterprise from all Hub projects totalled £33.8m:
confirming the importance of encouraging our local enterprises to engage with wider
sub-contracting opportunities across the public sector. 
Where we spend 
A geographical analysis of the Council’s core spend by area is provided below: 25%
of our spend is within South Lanarkshire and 35% of spend was within the wider
Lanarkshire area, including North Lanarkshire. 51% of our spend was with
companies based in the Glasgow City Region: an increase from 45% in 2023/2024.
63% of our total spend is retained in Scotland. 
46

Page 47

Collaborative contracts 
The Council continues to focus on a collaborative approach to procurement
wherever possible and collaborative contracts accounted for 25% of Council spend
in 2024/2025. 
This year, the Council’s spend through Scotland Excel frameworks totalled £44.6m,
of which £5.8m (13%) was spent with local suppliers, a reduction of 1% in
comparison to last year. However, these collaborative frameworks generated £69m
of spend with South Lanarkshire based suppliers in total, including spend from other
local authorities, of which 98% was with SMEs.   
Supplier payment performance and e-invoicing 
The Council continues to exceed the national target of 85% of invoices paid within 30
days of receipt, with 93% of invoices meeting this standard in 2024/2025. This
represented a slight decrease of 1% in comparison to 2023/2024 which is
attributable to the implementation of the Council’s new financial management system
Oracle Fusion, in April 2024, with improvements anticipated from 2025/2026. 
E-invoicing, which enables automated payment of invoices where they can be
electronically matched to a purchase order, has been in place for the Council since
2017. During 2024/2025, 43% of invoices were paid using e-invoicing, a significant
increase in comparison to 19% in 2023/2024 due to new processes implemented
through Oracle Fusion.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Community Wealth Building Commission
Date of Meeting: 2 December 2025
Report by: Executive Director (Finance and Corporate Resources)  
Subject: Community Wish List - Update 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1 The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 provide an update on the move to the City Region Community Wish List by 1
April 2026. 
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1 The Commission is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):
[recs]
(1) note the closure of the South Lanarkshire Community Wish List on 31 March
2026.
(2) note that we will join and commence operating on the Glasgow City Region
Community Benefits Hub on 1 April 2026, with transition arrangements as
outlined in Section 5. 
3. Background
3.1  Community Wish Lists have been established across the public sector where
communities are enabled to put forward requests for specific needs or benefits that
can then be supported by selection by suppliers delivering contracts. The main
advantage of this approach is in encouraging and providing a more bottom-up
approach to delivering community benefits as part of the public sector procurement
process, where communities needs are being directly specified by communities and
met by contractors. 
3.2 In July 2022, the Commission received an update that all eight local authorities in the
Glasgow City Region agreed in 2022 to work together to develop a regional web-
based Community Wish List interface, which would have a shared backroom and
individual landing pages. This would allow South Lanarkshire and the other member
authorities to have control over their own process and the content of their web page. 
The procurement process was expected to start in 2022 but was delayed and is now
about to commence. 
3.3 At the time, South Lanarkshire Council identified investment funding which supported
a fixed term 0.5 FTE officer post in the Community Engagement Team to work with
communities and the Procurement Team to promote understanding and awareness
of the Community Wish List.  This post moved the Wish List forward in South
Lanarkshire despite the delay in the reginal platform. 
5
97

Page 98

3.4 The postholder commenced in June 2022 and established an in-house platform,
promoting the service and supporting groups to identify their wishes. The South
Lanarkshire Wish List launched in July 2023, and the option was embedded into the
Procurement Community Benefits Menu for suppliers. However, a few local
businesses, who are not suppliers, are contributors to the wish list. 
3.5. The Community Wish List has been operating for just over 2 years in South
Lanarkshire and has answered over £140,000 worth of requests to community
groups in the area. The wishes granted included small financial donations, goods
and materials, IT equipment, food and activity supplies. 
3.6  In September 2024, the Development Officer role came to an end and the Wish List
continued to operate and sustain its level of activity through a reviewed and adapted
process. This increased administrative work across both the Community
Engagement and Procurement Team. 
4. The Glasow City Region Community Benefits Hub
4.1 South Lanarkshire Council intended to use the Glasgow City Region Community
Benefits Hub, but its delayed development meant we moved on with our in-house
solution at the time. 
4.2. In September 2024, with the end of the Community Wish List Development Officer
role, we commenced a process of transitioning the South Lanarkshire Wish List onto
the regional platform. However, this was paused while the specifications of the new
and developing regional system were fully functional and the reporting abilities could
match our existing ones. 
4.3 During this time, internally we undertook a process review and adapted our existing
Wish List service to more closely align to the processes of the Glasgow City Region
Platform. We continued to participate in the Glasgow City Region Working Group to
have input into the developing new platform and to share the successful experiences
we’d had in South Lanarkshire. 
4.4 The Glasgow City Region Community Benefits Hub is now ready and operating at a
standard that will meet the minimum requirements for our communities and suppliers
and Officers.  Therefore, we are preparing to close the South Lanarkshire Wish List
and re-start a new service on the Glasgow City Region Community Benefits Hub. 
4.5. It’s important to clarify that we are not transferring our local service but closing it
down and offering an alternative service that is provided by the Glasgow City
Region. 
4.6. We are one of 5 other Local Authorities collaborating with the Glasgow City Region
by registering wishes and suppliers on the new Hub and have some limited
administration responsibilities for approving content.   
4.5 The Glasgow City Region Community Benefits Hub offers communities the
opportunity to have wishes granted by suppliers across the region, after a period of
‘local only’ promotion. For this reason, we feel that the Glasgow City Region
Community Benefits Hub platform is the right choice for local communities in that it
offers them more opportunity than a local only Wish List service could. 
98

Page 99

4.6. Furthermore, the next phase of the Glasgow City Region Community Benefits Hub
brings on board the suppliers in the supply chains of other major public institutions in
the region such as further education bodies, yet again increasing the potential
matches for our local community wishes. 
4.7. It’s important to be clear though that the Glasgow City Region Community Benefits
Hub it is owned, operated and managed by the Glasgow City Region. It has full
operational responsibility for the platform, its services, its design and the data that it
will hold and share. However, Glasgow City Region works collaboratively with
participating local authorities to design and operate the product. The City Region
likewise covers the cost of the platform and its future developments. 
4.8 The platform continues to develop a list of improvements and enhancements in
consultation with participating local authorities. Further developments of the platform
include: 
 full administration for Local Authorisation rights over records relating to
information on groups and suppliers based in South Lanarkshire is a priority for
all participating Local Authorities
 integration with Local Authorities ‘Cenefits’ software
 enhanced access and filtering options for suppliers
 creating access for non-supplier businesses to register to grant wishes 
5 Next Steps 
5.1 A transition plan is currently in development by the Community Engagement and
Procurement Teams, but the key milestones are set: The existing platform will be
fully closed at 31 March 2026 and we will operate exclusively on the new platform
from the end of June 2026. 
5.2  From the 31 March 2026, our current wish list will be closed to new wishes, and we
will ask groups and suppliers to register with the new service, from 1 April 2026. 
5.3. During this time, we will need to be manually sharing existing wishes located on the
local list while they re-register on the new service. We will provide a three month
transition period for this. 
5.3. Our landing page on the Glasgow City Region Community Benefits Hub will go live
on 1 April 2026. 
5.4. We will continue to engage with the Glasgow City Region working groups to further
develop the platform and integrate it into the Procurement Team’s Cenefits software
effectively. 
6. Employee Implications
6.1. There are no employee implications associated with this report. 
7. Financial Implications 
7.1. There are no financial implications associated with this report. 
8. Other Implications
8.1. Managing change and transition presents possible reputation risks with suppliers
and community groups. This will be mitigated by good communication and
support during the transition process.

Report
Agenda Item 
Report to: Community Wealth Building Commission
Date of Meeting: 2 December 2025
Report by: Chief Executive  
Subject: Community Wealth Building Strategy – Review
Timetable and Context for Next Steps 
1. Purpose of Report
1.1. The purpose of the report is to:
[purpose]
 Consider the timing of a review of the South Lanarkshire Community Wealth
Building (CWB) Strategy, in the light of pending legislation and within the wider
context of CWB developments regionally and nationally. 
[1purpose]
2. Recommendation(s)
2.1. The Commission is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):
[]
(1) that the South Lanarkshire CWB Strategy be reviewed after the Scottish
Government’s CWB legislation has been passed and associated guidance
published;
(2) that, in the meantime, the current strategy be rolled forward, using existing
arrangements for annual action plan review, risk management and progress
reporting; and
(3) that the evolving context for CWB in Scotland – which serves to frame local
discussions on the future of CWB in South Lanarkshire – be noted.
[1recs]
3. Background
3.1. South Lanarkshire Council approved its Community Wealth Building Strategy in May
2021. Shortly thereafter, the CWB Commission was established to bring key anchor
organisations together to implement the strategy and progress the CWB agenda in
South Lanarkshire. The Commission held its first meeting on 31 August 2021 and has
met quarterly since then. 
3.2. As we approach year 5 of Community Wealth Building in South Lanarkshire it is
appropriate to consider the timescale and process for a review, given the changing
context for CWB both locally and nationally. 
4. South Lanarkshire CWB Strategy – review and timescale
4.1. The South Lanarkshire CWB strategy was developed in 2020 and, as noted above,
approved in 2021. The strategy is open-ended in that it does not specify a timeframe
over which it operates. However, when presented to the Commission for approval, it
was described as setting out “high-level aspirations in relation to CWB… [together
with] a detailed action plan to support the delivery of these aspirations over an
appropriate time-period (3 to 5 years)”. 
6
101

Page 102

4.2. Adhering to that timeframe, the strategy would be due for review in 2026. Typically,
that would mean work would start around now to deliver a new strategy for
consideration by the Commission at its June 2026 meeting. 
4.3. Commission will be aware that the Scottish Government has introduced a CWB Bill
which will require all local authority areas to develop partnership CWB action plans
setting out the measures to be taken within the local authority area in relation to CWB
and to implement those plans so far as reasonably practicable. A report on the draft
bill was brought to the Commission on 10 June 2025. 
4.4. With legislation and guidance pending, it would be prudent to wait until the bill is
enacted and these requirements are published in full before starting work on a new
strategy for South Lanarkshire. Holding off the review until legislation and guidance
are published will have a number of benefits, including: 
 ensuring the revised local strategy complies with all statutory requirements,
avoiding the need for revisions after the national guidance has been published;
 allowing the new strategy to be developed through a process which includes all
appropriate partners and stakeholders, in the context of their statutory
responsibilities, as confirmed in the act;
 enabling the Commission to consider how best to engage residents, communities
and businesses in South Lanarkshire, again in the light of statutory requirements;
 giving partners the opportunity to review the wider context and developments
elsewhere in what is a rapidly evolving field; and
 within this, allowing the partners to consider how best to align CWB with other
strategies, plans and organisational priorities. 
4.5. As noted in the report to the Commission on 10 June 2025, South Lanarkshire is well
placed to meet the requirements of the forthcoming legislation and in broad terms is
already compliant with the key features as understood from the draft bill. The
legislation is on schedule to be passed by the end of April 2026, and statutory guidance
will likely follow by autumn 2026. 
4.6. Taking these timescales into account, we would be looking to refresh the South
Lanarkshire strategy towards the end of 2026, with a view to having a revised version
by spring/early summer 2027, effectively pushing the review back by a year. If there
is a need to respond to any developments between now and then, there is scope to
adjust the actions through the annual action plan review process. 
4.7. The Commission is asked to endorse this approach and approve that the existing
strategy be continued until the legislation and guidance is available in full. 
4.8. As noted at 4.4 above, one advantage of waiting another year before reviewing the
strategy is the opportunity to reflect on the wider context for CWB, taking into account
how the approach has been deployed elsewhere and acknowledging developments at
a regional and Scottish level. 
4.9. The remainder of this report presents an overview of CWB developments in Scotland,
as a context for deliberations on “where next” for CWB in South Lanarkshire. 
102

Page 103

5. Broader Context
5.1. Four years ago, South Lanarkshire was one of the first areas in Scotland to develop a
dedicated CWB strategy, one of the first to have a multi-agency forum for Community
Wealth Building, and one of the first to put in place comprehensive monitoring,
reporting and governance arrangements. 
5.2. These developments in South Lanarkshire were at the forefront of CWB adoption in
Scotland – contemporaneous with the earliest pilot activity supported by Scottish
Government and the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) (see section 6
below) and ahead of the wider adoption of CWB by numerous local authority areas in
Scotland over recent years. 
5.3. Interest in Community Wealth Building has grown steadily since then.  In the National
Strategy for Economic Transformation (NSET), published March 2022, the Scottish
Government identified CWB as a key practical approach to local economic
development that supports a wellbeing economy. The NSET included a commitment
to introduce legislation on CWB, and the draft CWB Bill was subsequently presented
to the Scottish Parliament in March 2025. 
5.4. Although the legislation will require all local authority areas to develop partnership
CWB plans, this process is already well underway. A recent mapping exercise carried
out by the Improvement Service found that by March 2025, two-thirds of local
authorities in Scotland had either developed or were actively working on a dedicated
CWB action plan. 
5.5. The same research found that more than half of Scotland’s local authorities have
established anchor groups, and within these Community Planning Partnerships
(CPPs) often play a key role. 
5.6. The research also identified degrees of regional collaboration as a theme, with groups
forming across Ayrshire, the Northeast and Forth Valley, to coordinate CWB activities
across larger geographies and have broader regional impact. These are in addition to
those collaborations driven by the City Deals such as the Glasgow City Region and
the Edinburgh and Southeast Scotland City Region 
5.7. Alongside actions taken by local authorities and partners to implement CWB, public
sector organisations, interest groups, professional associations and others are
increasingly looking at their sector through a CWB lens and providing commentary,
guidance, and case studies to support the debate and influence practice. 
6. CWB in Scotland 
6.1. North Ayrshire Council and Ayrshire Growth Deal
6.1.1. North Ayrshire Council launched Scotland's first CWB strategy in May 2020,
committing the council to deliver an ambitious range of CWB activity at a local level
and through collaboration with regional partners. 
6.1.2. The Scottish Government committed £3 million through the Ayrshire Growth Deal to
advance CWB across the region. The funding supported new CWB officers to help
advance CWB ambitions; a regional CWB Fund; and a dedicated Fair Work Ayrshire
team to help establish Ayrshire as a Fair Work region. 
103

Page 104

6.1.3. This builds on wider CWB activity in the Ayrshire region including: an Ayrshire-wide
CWB Commission containing key anchor organisations including health, further
education, police, fire, Scottish Enterprise and the third sector; and the launch of an
Ayrshire Anchor Charter committing local and regional anchor organisations to a range
of pledges across the five CWB pillars and a sixth pillar of Climate Action. 
6.2. CWB pilot areas
6.2.1. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scottish Government’s 2020-2021
Programme for Government pledged funding to develop CWB action plans in five pilot
areas. These areas were chosen to test the CWB model within a Scottish context,
provide geographic spread and assess how CWB could be developed in relation to a
city regional footprint. 
6.2.2. The areas chosen for support were Glasgow City Region, Clackmannanshire Council,
Tay Cities/Fife Council, South of Scotland, and Western Isles Council. All areas were
supported to produce a CWB action plan covering some or all of the five pillars of
CWB. The three local authorities involved (i.e. Fife, Clackmannanshire and the
Western Isles) commissioned an action plan which provided recommendations across
all pillars of CWB. The two regions (Glasgow City Region and South of Scotland) opted
to focus on specific issues related to existing priorities. In Glasgow this was
sustainable procurement and vacant and derelict land, and in the South of Scotland
there was a focus on retrofitting social housing. 
6.2.3. Differences in approach were also evident in the governance arrangements. Some
areas set up specific CWB commissions, while others turned to existing structures to
oversee the implementation of the action plans. 
Key elements of the work in each of the pilot areas are outlined below. 
Clackmannanshire 
6.2.4. Clackmannanshire developed an action plan with the help of CLES, which it published
in December 2020. This contains 21 recommendations across the five pillars. CWB
also connects to the council’s Be the Future transformation programme, and is woven
into wider interventions such as: 
6.2.5. Clackmannanshire Council has been particularly active in the workforce pillar and has
adopted actions across the Fair Work Framework. In November 2021 the local
authority announced it would become a Living Wage employer, joining a number of
other local institutions. It also runs a Fair Work Incentive which encourages recruitment
of those furthest from the labour market. 
6.2.6. Clackmannanshire are progressing CWB activity including in relation to the Gender
Pay Gap and real Living Wage, ownership considerations in high street regeneration,
growing local supply chains and a community benefits wish list. 
6.2.7. More recently, Clackmannanshire has aligned its LOIP with CWB and has established
a Wellbeing Economy Partnership within its CPP structure. 
Glasgow City Region 
6.2.8. Glasgow City Region's (GCR) initial focus was on two pillars of CWB: spending and
land. Under the spending pillar, the region pursued sustainable procurement within the
construction sector to benefit Scottish firms, secure a pipeline for apprenticeships, and
create more local jobs. The land pillar focused on developing an action plan to use
vacant and derelict land for social, cultural, and environmental purposes.
104

Page 105

6.2.9. With the strategic plans for spending, land and property in place, GCR is looking to
encompass the other three pillars of Community Wealth Building.  The Glasgow City
Region Anchor Network is now focused on developing Community Wealth Building
plans across the other three pillars, building on what anchor organisations are doing
already and ensuring CWB actions are at the heart of the wider regional economic
strategy. 
South of Scotland 
6.2.10.The South of Scotland pilot focused on testing how CWB could relate to an enterprise
agency (South of Scotland Enterprise) and how CWB could be woven into wider
regional economic strategy. This was alongside a focus on the role of housing sector
in developing South of Scotland supply chains, particularly in green retrofitting of
housing stock of the 6 Registered Social Landlords within the South of Scotland. 
6.2.11.More recently, a CWB framework from renewables has been developed, drawing upon
the outputs from workshops and focus groups involving communities in the South of
Scotland, community representative bodies, renewable energy developers and the
public sector. The draft framework was revised throughout based on the feedback from
these groups and the deliverability of the asks within it. 
Fife/Tay Cities 
6.2.12.The Tay Cities Deal brings together anchor organisations and local authorities in
Angus, Dundee, Fife, and Perth and Kinross. Each of these councils, and many other
organisations, are already pursuing actions related to CWB, and are working to
incorporate these into the overall economic strategy for the region. 
6.2.13.Fife in particular has been active in the adoption of Community Wealth Building, with
CWB now central to Fife Partnership’s plan for growing the local economy and building
community wealth; tackling the root causes of poverty; and addressing the climate
emergency. CWB is also at the core of Fife’s economic strategy 2023-2030: Growing
a stronger, greener and fairer economy for Fife. 
Western Isles 
6.2.14.Many of the principles and practices underpinning Community Wealth Building are
already embedded in the Western Isles. These include widespread community
ownership of land and assets and locally owned renewable energy regeneration. 
6.2.15.Building on these foundations, Western Isles has focused on areas such as enhancing
awareness and application of land rights and responsibilities for greener and more
locally productive use, and deepening the links between employability programmes
and local skills needs, in addition to activity across other CWB pillars. 
6.3. Other developments 
Health Boards 
6.3.1. As part of the Place and Wellbeing Programme within Health and Social Care, the
Scottish Government is working with Public Health Scotland (PHS) to support territorial
health boards to become active anchor organisations. Health boards and other health
and social care providers can make a valuable economic contribution within their
region by increasing access to local employment, purchasing from local suppliers and
ensuring communities can make greater use of NHS land and buildings. 
105

Page 106

6.3.2. PHS published a progression framework in May 2024 to help public sector
organisations in Scotland recognise and make the most of their power as anchor
institutions in order to improve outcomes for local people and the environment. 
6.3.3. As part of the NHS Scotland Delivery Plan Guidance, issued in February 2023, all
NHS Boards were asked by the Scottish Government to develop Anchor Strategic
Plans to set out how they plan to progress anchor activity in the three key strands of
workforce, local procurement, and use or disposal of land and assets for the benefit of
the community. 
6.3.4. In March 2024, all NHS Boards were asked to submit a baseline of their anchor activity
in relation to those strands, using a set of metrics that had been agreed in consultation
with NHS Boards and other stakeholders. (The NHS Lanarkshire Anchor Plan and
performance against the metrics were reported to the South Lanarkshire CWB
Commission on 28 February 2023, 10 September 2024 and 10 June 2025.) 
Health Anchors Learning Network (HALN) 
6.3.5. HALN is a UK-wide network for people responsible for, or interested in, anchor
approaches in health. It was set up in February 2021 with funding from the NHS and
The Health Foundation. The network is free and open to join for colleagues from health
organisations, like trusts, hospitals and CCGs; integrated care systems; primary care
networks, regional bodies; and partners, like local authorities and other public
agencies, voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, and education and
housing organisations. 
6.3.6. As well as hosting events, blogs, discussion forums, and case studies, HALN offers a
number of online learning modules about anchors, anchor actions, and measuring
progress. 
Other Resources 
6.3.7. Community Wealth Building Practitioner Network.  A Scottish Government-funded
practitioner support network has been established, with dedicated support, to share
good practice and facilitate information-sharing and networking across Scotland’s 32
local authorities.  The network meets monthly and hosts spotlight sessions which focus
on specific topics and pillars. 
6.3.8. The Local Government Improvement Service (IS). The IS has a range of resources
available to support CWB, including a case study library, briefings for Elected
Members and council officers, and links to core resources from CLES, the Democracy
Collaborative and others.  The IS also hosts the practitioner network (see above)
support. 
6.3.9. EDAS (Economic Development Association Scotland) has been an active
champion of CWB in Scotland, hosting a series of webinars and events, producing
guides and podcasts, and promoting CWB across its network.  A range of resources
is available on its dedicated CWB Centre for Excellence web pages. 
7. Next Steps
7.1. The overview presented above illustrates how much has changed in the CWB sphere
over the last few years. It also illustrates the intersections between CWB and multiple
policy agendas, such as child poverty, health inequalities, spatial planning, sustainable
development and the transition to net zero. 
106

Page 107

7.2. As South Lanarkshire looks towards the review of its strategy, it is clear that
Community Wealth Building has matured, both in South Lanarkshire and more widely
across Scotland, and a new strategy would have a different starting-point, different
expectations, and offer different opportunities from the first. 
7.3. The Commission is invited to reflect on what the next phase of CWB should look like
in South Lanarkshire and how best to build on the achievements of the last four years. 
8. Employee Implications
8.1. There are no direct employee implications. 
9. Financial Implications
9.1. There are no direct financial implications. 
10. Climate Change, Sustainability and Environmental Implications
10.1. There are no direct climate change, sustainability and natural environment implications
arising from this report. 
11. Other Implications
11.1. Considering the detail of the report and identifying actions as appropriate contribute
towards effective risk management. 
12. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Requirements
12.1. This report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy or recommend a
change to an existing policy, function or strategy and therefore no impact assessment
is required. 
12.2. Consultation was undertaken internally via the officer group for CWB and with partners
via the CWB Progress Group.
