The Community Benefit Gateway (CBG) is an online, free and easy-to-use platform. It makes it simple to match community needs submitted by third-sector organisations with NHS Scotland’s suppliers.
Third-sector organisations, located at the heart of Scottish communities, respond to community needs.
NHS suppliers then bid against the need and support its delivery.
The key benefits of the CBG
- Community needs are uploaded onto the portal and come directly from communities represented by third-sector organisations
- NHS Scotland suppliers can access a list of community needs that they can offer support for and, therefore, fulfil their statutory duties of delivering community benefits as per the Procurement Reform (Scotland ) Act 2014 and the Sustainable Procurement Duty.
