What is being bought

Published requirement description

In the response to the House of Lords Home-Based Working Select Committee report, the Government recognised the risks associated with blurred boundaries between work and home, while also recognising that employers should retain appropriate autonomy and be able to contact employees where there is a legitimate need to do so. The Government stated that policies supporting work-life balance should be proportionate, workable across different sectors and forms of employment, and support both worker wellbeing and business needs.
