Description

The notice is for the National Baseline Assessment (NBA) on the Implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The contract will provide technical assistance to achieve NBA's primary objective which is to assess the current level of implementation of the UNGPs across the UK, by the UK government and UK businesses. This will focus on three pillars of the UNGPs - 1. State Duty to Protect 2. Business Responsibility to Respect 3. Access to Remedy.
The programme will clearly identify measures taken by the UK Government that support business adherence with international and regional human rights standards, as well as steps taken that ensure access to remedy for victims. This will include analysis of policy, legislation and programming (including Overseas Development Assistance). The NBA will identify possible legal and policy gaps in current measures.
