9.1 On 11 November 2002, Ministers published the Scottish Government/ STUC Protocol on staffing matters in Public Private Partnerships to ensure fair employment policies and practices are followed by PPP contractors in all new contracts. This document sets out the key principles and good practice which public sector organisations are expected to follow when considering and progressing PPPs. It will be enforced in cases which involve Scottish Executive funding.
