Public sector procurement

Using legal frameworks to promote training and other social benefits

Construction projects are increasingly required to deliver recruitment, training and other social benefits (e.g. improving the local skills base).

Local authorities and other public sector bodies are already using voluntary agreements and partnership working to deliver social benefits.

To support this, the client-led approach that has been adopted by ConstructionSkills and the National Skills Academy for Construction, provides a toolkit to deliver employment, apprenticeships and training for public sector clients through their construction projects. 

Using the expertise of Trowers & Hamlins, the toolkit provides model documentation, benchmarks, case studies and practical commentary.

Based on successful National Skills Academy for Construction projects, it includes all necessary components to deliver apprenticeships and employment/training opportunities on any construction project.
