If we are talking of hiring employees, then I will be looking at employees who are hired and whether they represent diversity. But when you now contract out through a tender and the tender does not require ethnic diversity as one of the criteria, then we have a slight problem in terms of application. In terms of employment, I am in total agreement but in terms of contracted services, it means that providers of services in one organization may all come from a certain region, and not necessarily where they are."}
