Coventry City Council Procurement Services: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Baseline Survey

Coventry City Council is carrying out this survey to ensure that equality, diversity and inclusion is embedded within its Procurement policies, procedures and activities.

The aim of this survey is to improve our future sourcing requirements by seeking to understand from local businesses, in particular Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), the following: • what they consider to be the barriers to entry in accessing and tendering for Council contracts, and • what the Council can do to enable opportunity on future tender activity.

Completing the Survey

Completion of the survey is entirely optional, however if your organisation chooses to respond to the survey, please complete all questions, even if the choice is 'Prefer not to say'. The Council would encourage participation from local businesses to help us to achieve our One Coventry goals and effectively engage with the community that we serve.

To help us to collect accurate and meaningful information to achieve our goal, please forward our survey to the person(s) in your business who hold(s) the information requested in the form for them to complete and submit the survey.

Outcomes of the Survey

Following the survey results, the Council's Procurement team will undertake an analysis of the data received and produce a programme of targeted engagement with local businesses - including, but not limited to Meet the Buyer events. The targeted engagement will seek to reduce or remove any barriers local businesses face in successful tendering. As such, the Council will use your organisation’s contact details provided in response to question 1 of this survey, to share details of future engagement.

Closing Date and Contact Details

This survey will close on May 12 2023. If you have any queries about this survey, please email [email protected].
