Process for the systematic incorporation of gender equality clauses in the contracts of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa

The objective of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa was to promote gender equality between women and men through public procurement. The approach chosen was, first, to define and implement a coordinated support system to include gender equality clauses in a systematic way in its procurement procedures, and in a second phase, to monitor and evaluate their use. A process of continuous reflection by the contracting authority accompanied this, which resulted in the regular update and development of new provincial laws, guidelines, strategies and capacity building.
