Notice Title
National Baseline Assessment (NBA) of the Implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
Notice Description
The purpose of this Contract is to carry out a National Baseline Assessment (NBA) on the Implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The assessment will cover all three pillars of the UNGPs: State Duty to Protect, Business Responsibility to Respect, and Access to Remedy. The NBA will clearly identify measures taken by Government that support business compliance with international and regional human rights standards and identify possible gaps in current measures. It will also assess to what extent UK businesses have committed to respecting human rights, including by carrying out voluntary Human Rights Due Diligence, and providing effective remedies for abuses.
