About
Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to MK-LF Partnership Limited for the BAME Leadership Summit, aimed at increasing BAME representation in the Senior Civil Service (SCS).
The summit targets BAME Grade 6/7 staff, with a specific focus on BAME women who face barriers across race and gender.
This initiative supports Defra's target of 7% of new SCS staff from a BAME background, as current data shows only 6% of new SCS staff are from a BAME background, below the BAME working age population of 12%.
The contract value is £150,000.
