The Department of Employment and the Workplace Gender Equality Agency are held responsible for the implementation of these principles. In Spain, the legislation guiding procurement provides a more flexible language stating that “contracting authorities may establish social considerations such as the elimination of inequalities between men and women’'.

A number of countries such as Canada and Spain also focus efforts to develop gender expertise among procurement officials.
