TUPE Transfers and Trade Union Recognition & Involvement

This report follows recent discussions between the Council and the Trade Unions (GMB and UNISON) about the TUPE transfer of staff to other organisations.

As the Council makes changes to services to meet the current financial demands there will continue to be transfers of BHCC staff into other organisations through TUPE arrangements. As a result of this the Trade Unions requested that consideration be given to the following:

• Requiring Trade Union recognition in contracted or commissioned services where BHCC staff will be TUPE transferred;
• Involving the Trade Unions more in the tender process when evaluating contracts that will result in the TUPE transfer of BHCC staff.

HR, Legal and Procurement teams have considered the options with regard to these matters, and the purpose of this paper is to provide a way forward which balances the council’s positive view of Trade Union recognition with its obligations in procurement processes.
