“…Of the 16 German states, 11 refer to the ILO core conventions in their procurement laws. Most of them limit their scope to specific 'sensitive' product groups (that have a high risk of violations of the core conventions, such as textiles or IT hardware) and define them as a general or optional criteria within the procurement process [80] (pp. [53][54][55][56][57].…”

“…While these are interesting developments that are indicators of a rising interest in the social dimension of public procurement, the integration of social aspects regarding domestic and international value chains in procurement procedures and finally in tenders is not widespread. Effective implementation is largely limited to specific pilot projects, even in the case of mandatory provisions [80] (p. 56). In this way, processes and criteria are being tested, especially by municipal actors.…”

Multidimensionality of Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP)—Exploring Concepts and Effects in Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe

et al. 2019

Strategic objectives in public procurement, such as environmental or social considerations, are being increasingly referred to under the umbrella term of sustainable public procurement (SPP). The concept of sustainability is intrinsically multidimensional, encompassing environmental, social, and economic aspects. However, the existing literature on SPP highlights the generalization that the regulation and practices of public procurement are biased toward the environmental dimension. There is conflicting evidence from countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that calls for further investigation. Analyzing how SPP is actually constituted in SSA and contrasting it with the situation in the European Union (EU), as a spotlight on the Global South and North, contributes to a better understanding of sustainability in public procurement. The comparative analysis will help with understanding processes related to the integration or disintegration of sustainability dimensions in SPP. Our results indicate a contrary orientation on the environmental and the social dimensions in the EU and SSA. Although there is no sign of a comprehensive integration of all dimensions in SPP, there are developments toward the integration of the ‘missing’ dimension in the respective regional setting. Thus, at the moment, achieving a multidimensional implementation of SPP appears to be more a matter of expanding SPP practices of the ‘missing’ dimension than of pushing for integrated concepts.

“…In addition, the mode of proof raises doubts on the adequacy of the requirements: Language skills can either be verified by high school leaving certificates, certificates from an institution of higher education originating in a country where the language is an official language, a language sufficiency certificate, a BA, or, if none of these is available, self‐certification. As has been argued, self‐declarations are not be the best way to establish safely that certain criteria are fulfilled (Sack et al, ).…”

“…As has been elaborated elsewhere (Sack, Schulten, Sarter, & Böhlke, ), the mere inclusion of requirements relating to skills, qualifications, and working conditions does not automatically lead to compliance; contract management and the monitoring of whether conditions set are upheld are essential for safeguarding that standards included in public contracts are upheld during the performance of the contract. Whereas monitoring and contract management are important features for a holistic understanding of the impact of tendering practices on the personnel delivering the services, this study specifically analyses whether public authorities include requirements relating to skills, qualifications, and working conditions and, if they do, which requirements are set.…”

Contracting of services has become increasingly important over the last few decades. Against this background, public contracts play an indispensable role in setting standards for services as well as in the regulation of labour. This article explores public tendering strategies for a specific service, interpretation in the context of asylum and international protection. Based on an empirical study of tendering strategies of two public agencies in Greece, it analyses core issues related to working conditions and service quality, namely, the importance given to the price and the use of stipulations relating to working conditions and qualifications. The findings reveal that even under high budgetary constraints, individual agencies may seek to strategically counteract a price-driven competition and point to the importance of the structure of the market as an external constraint.

“…To explore the aforementioned competing arguments, we draw on findings from the EU-funded comparative project ‘Bargaining for Social Rights in Sectors’ – BARSORIS (Keune and Ramos Martín, 2015) along with findings from two additional projects. These are the EU-funded comparative project ‘Reducing Precarious work through Social Dialogue’ – PRECAWO (Grimshaw et al, 2016) and the project ‘Client Companies’ Role in Labour and Social Clauses in German Public Procurement’ (Sack et al, 2016). The prime sources for the Danish and German comparative case are nine interviews with unions (4 Denmark; 1 Germany) and employers’ associations (3 Denmark; 1 Germany) within the industrial cleaning sector, conducted in 2014 as part of the BARSORIS project.…”

This article offers a comparative study of recent joint initiatives by Danish and German social partners within the industrial cleaning sector. It examines how, and to what extent, the day-to-day realities of industrial cleaners vary due to distinct regulatory regimes and explores why social dialogue initiatives have not had a greater impact in terms of improving wages, working conditions and social benefits. The authors find that, whilst sector institutions help counteract precariousness for some cleaning workers, the increasingly intense competition within industrial cleaning contributes to increased segmentation as employers seek various loopholes within existing labour market regulation to cut costs. Therefore, the labour force within the cleaning sector is increasingly segmented, with some cleaners ending up in highly precarious situations, whilst others are helped by various joint initiatives by social partners to improve atypical workers’ conditions.
