Article 2 of the Convention. Insertion of labour clauses in public contracts – Consultations with social partners – Information for tenderers. In response to the Committee’s 2017 direct request, the Government reports that there are no new developments regarding the application of the Convention. The Government nevertheless reiterates its intention to proceed with the elaboration of a new procurement bill and regulations, which are expected to establish clear rules on open and accountable procurement, and indicates that consultations and review are ongoing. The Committee once again requests that the Government take all necessary measures to ensure that: (i) the new public procurement legislation provides for the insertion of labour clauses in all public contracts, whether these are contracts for construction works, manufacture of goods or supply of services; (ii) the terms of the labour clauses are determined after consultation with the employers’ and workers’ organizations concerned; and (iii) the labour clauses are brought to the knowledge of tenderers by including them in tender documents. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress regarding the reform of the public procurement legislation, taking into account the principles of Article 2 of the Convention.
