sufficient value in itself. The two must be held together, mutually

challenging and supportive.” (The Runnymede Trust, Multi-Ethnic Britain, 2000).

The Equality Duty will require public bodies to tackle discrimination and promote equality

through their purchasing functions........... We are looking at how to encourage greater

transparency among private sector contractors to contribute to the delivery of our equality
