The objective of this Toolkit is to enable public procurement policy makers, buyers and contract managers to implement requirements to promote respect for human rights by their suppliers. The public procurement cycle consists of procurement planning, the procurement process, and contract management.1 This Toolkit will highlight how requirements that suppliers respect human rights can be incorporated across different stages of the procurement cycle. The scope of goods and services bought by public authorities ranges widely, from large-scale infrastructure and urban development projects, to the acquisition of complex items such as weapon systems, to commissioning of essential public services in the health and social care sector, and to buying common goods such as stationery, furniture, and foodstuffs. This Toolkit will highlight how human rights requirements can be integrated into the majority of procurement exercises
