Overview

This project aims to evaluate the impact of the current policy of leveraging social outcomes from the procurement of public works.

Specifically, this research project will seek to answer the following research:

The current socio-economic policies leveraged within procurement policies
The rationale for leveraging contracts to achieve these social policies (i.e. The policy intent)
The identifiable costs and benefits associated with this leveraging (financial and non-financial)
The costs associated with these social policies, and who is paying these prices
The benefits of these social policies, and who is benefiting from them
Whether the costs outweigh the benefits of such an approach

A secondary objective is the development of a mechanism for assessing future proposals for the inclusion of social policies in construction projects.
