CERMI calls on all the regions of our country to adopt a Public Procurement Law similar to the one implemented in Navarre, which requires 6% of public contracts to be reserved for social enterprises.
This law exceeds the mandatory minimums for contracts reserved for Special Employment Centres and Labour Integration Centres established by national legislation, setting aside 6% for companies serving groups at risk of social exclusion.
Legislation such as this, which goes beyond meeting the required minimums, helps society move towards the full integration of people with disabilities. This is the goal pursued by Fundación Alares and Fundación para la Diversidad through the Special Employment Centre, Alares Social. However, this law also supports the proposals put forward by CERMI in the “Socially Responsible Public Procurement Manual,” which sets out the most appropriate measures for achieving the objectives pursued by social clauses in public procurement.
CERMI highlights the positive nature of proposals such as this one because, at a time of economic crisis when the most vulnerable social groups are suffering its consequences more severely, this legislation contributes to maintaining employment and supporting companies that are committed to people with disabilities.
