Community Benefits Policy. The City Council and its partners have recognised the need to support the development of the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) and Social Enterprise (SE) sector by developing a procurement approach which maximises their exposure to procurement opportunities around the Commonwealth Games and other large scale developments. The development of the Glasgow Business Portal along with contractually agreed Capacity Building support programme from main contractors has provided further opportunities to Glasgow SME and SE businesses. Up to December 2012, Commonwealth Games related business support programmes had delivered £290m of tier-1 games related contracts as advertised through the Glasgow Business Portal, of which £183m were secured by Glasgow businesses. Over 4,600 Glasgow businesses were registered on the business portal itself, and will be well placed to take advantage of further procurement opportunities resulting from both the Games itself but also other major infrastructure developments in the city.

The program comprises 15 projects, including 3 contracted services and will work with over 10,000 clients between July 2011 and June 2013, aiming to support over 2,000 of these clients into employment.
