- Decision
- Carried
Conference declares that equality of opportunity and social inclusion should be a key feature of the public procurement process.
Conference calls for the full integration of the statutory duty on race, including its extensive consultation requirements, to be mainstreamed into substantial procurement decisions and processes. We further call for a UNISON campaign to extend the additional anti-discrimination elements and equality requirements of the Northern Ireland statutory model to be also mainstreamed into the procurement process.
These actions should result in better equality outcomes for public service users and workers alike and increase the opportunities for all of us to challenge misguided privatisation.
