Procurement Policy Note 01/13 Procurement and Equality

Procurement Policy Note 01/13 issued in January 2013 concerning Procurement and Equality.

The PPN reminds contracting authorities of their legal obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) when conducting their public procurement activities.  This policy note provides a summary of how the duty can be taken into account when conducting public procurement, although it is not a comprehensive guide to PSED itself.
