Government to only issue contracts to organisations that have a DEI policy

Petition Details

Update the government Public Procurement Policy to only allow contracts with organisations that publish a diversity and inclusion policy and how they measure themselves against it.

Additional Information

We are highly concerned about the number of organisations that are removing their commitment to diversity and inclusion due to political pressures outside of the UK. We think this is antithetical to the UK government's support for DEI policies. We think the Public Procurement Policy framework should be updated to mandate that all organisations that government contracts with for goods or services must themselves have a commitment to DEI.
