Join BlueLight Commercial in conversation with Capsticks 14th July 2021

Date: Wednesday, 14 July 2021                   Time: 12.00 - 1.00pm            Location: Online

Join us in conversation with Capsticks, a leading UK law firm, on equality, diversity and inclusivity in public procurement.

In order to drive the equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) agenda forward, it is vital that organisations across the public and private sector ensure that Social Value is at the heart of strategy and decision making processes. Whilst many organisations might focus on EDI in the context of service users and workforce, the role of procurement in tackling Social Value issues should be fully explored with a view to ensuring that suppliers are clear about the standards which are expected of them to help organisations meet their EDI targets. Ruth McDermott (Regional Commercial Director) and Billie Heafield (Commercial Manager) from BlueLight Commercial, will join Mary Mundy (Partner) and Nicola Green (Legal Director) from Capsticks, to discuss how EDI can be embraces and promoted through public procurement. 

Tailored for procurement professionals and EDI leads to spark ideas and help gain an understanding of what can be done through their procurement activity. The panellists will explore:

• The legal and policy basis for EDI in public procurement
• An overview of BlueLight Commercial and the delivery of social value within policing and the embedding of social value within the commercial lifecylce.

Attendees will be treated to an engaging and lively discussion from the speakers. There will be an opportunity to pose questions ahead of the session and at the end of the webinar.
