HMRC has for the first time published an action plan for working with VCSE's on procurement. The plan outlines initiatives they will be putting in place to raise the proportion of HMRC procurement expenditure with voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). There are 5 main areas of focus:
- Promoting the VCSE agenda
- Simplifying the procurement process
- VCSE engagement
- Supply chain engagement
- Improving VCSE data collection
They will be working with Social Enterprise UK to identify categories within HMRC spend where VCSEs are currently underutilised, in order to develop targeted initiatives for engagement. They also plan to hold training session with commissioners to share best practice on engaging VCSEs within procurements.
All employers must provide toilets, washbasins and other welfare facilities that workers require.
