Background
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.
