Procurement

Public procurement policy continues to be a key campaigning issue for Unite and the union has campaigned for the government to adopt a more transparent and long-term public procurement policy.

The government must ensure that UK companies are not being disadvantaged, compare to their European competitors, by its interpretation of EU public procurement rules.

The Chancellor recently asked Alan Wood, Chief Executive of Siemens plc to investigate British business experiences of competing for public contracts in other EU countries, the results of the "Wood Report" have now been published.
