Cities discuss innovation and social clauses in public procurement

Last week we hosted the first in a series of events that will help member cities make the best of public procurement. The two day seminar took place in Brussels from 12-13 November and focused on innovation, pre-commercial procurement and social clauses.

'Promoting an inclusive labour market at local level'

In our latest publication we showcase projects from 12 of our member cities that support those who face significant barriers to employment; including migrants, people with disabilities, young people with mental illness, over 50s, young people not in education or training (NEETS) and the long term unemployed.
