Tenders were sought on 11 June for the production of three background papers on the better integration of equality, human rights and social inclusion policy formulation and implementation, to identify issues that will need to be addressed in the review. Tenders are to be submitted by 5 July on the public procurement portal, eTenders. This scoping exercise is the first step in the review. No working group has been established at this stage.
