Alvast bedankt,

Hallo allemaal,
We zijn bezig om te kijken of we een (anti)arbeidsdiscriminatiebepaling in ons aanbestedingsproces kunnen opnemen. Op PIANOo staan een aantal adviezen van de CBA, zie onderstaande link:
Kort gezegd er zijn twee mogelijkheden: Het opnemen in specifieke overeenkomsten of het opnemen onder de uitsluitingsgrond 'ernstige beroepsfout'.

A short and snappy overview of the most important issues regarding the sustainability of bio-based products. Number 2 in the InnProBio Factsheet series on bio-based products. Check it out at our website http://innprobio.innovation-procurement.org/newsroom/?c=search&uid=51e1cb1e and let us know what you think!
There is no direct connection to Public Procurement but to bio-based materials and innovation. This could be interesting for buyer groups and further helps to reduce the fear regarding reliability of bio-based materials. It shows the performance of bio-based materials that could be interesting for Public Procurement for certain applications in the future.
Best,
Moritz
