The Procura+ Webinar series will take place in the form of two consecutive 90min webinars on November 9 and December 10.  

Procurers and those interested in procurement will get the chance to learn from experts that were vital to the process and achievement of including social criteria and clauses into tenders. 

The Procura+ webinar series is connected to 5 case studies to be published from the MakeICTFair Project. 

The first session will provide you with steps towards integrating social criteria in ICT Procurement tenders. The second session will give you insights about the follow up on social criteria through contract management.
