The public sector spends £160 billion each year procuring business. Additionally, 30% of all major UK private sector organisations work with the public sector. Procurement processes are now subject to stringent procedures and guidelines which include the requirement for organisations to demonstrate how equality and diversity is managed within their own organisations. Failure to demonstrate this to a satisfactory standard exposes clear risks of commercial disadvantage. This programme explores what you need to do within your organisation to meet common procurement requirements, how to effectively integrate equality and diversity considerations into your tendering submissions and example best practices from UK organisations.
