What are the main issues for EPSU?
Local public services are, by definition, at the front line of public services. Users have direct experience of those who provide those services, be they fire-fighters, waste workers, community liaison personnel, or local administrators issuing documents and providing guidance. EPSU is committed to ensuring that quality services are provided to all users. We are committed to high quality and efficient public services based on a well-educated and skilled work force. Working conditions for local and regional government employees is a main plank of this commitment but only a part. EPSU is also pledged to the promotion of open, transparent public procurement that puts the aim of the vital services first. EPSU is convinced that assessing public procurement regimes, means assessing their environmental and social impact, as well as the cost.

(1 March 2010) EPSU’s LRG committee organised a special session on public procurement on 1 March to give impetus to initiatives to promote social procurement. More than half of public procurement is carried out by local and regional authorities but most contracts are awarded on the basis of ‘lowest cost’ rather than taking into account also social and environmental considerations.
