The part voted on: ‘Expresses concern that the quality and continuity of services provided by Parliament’s Wayenberg Crèche have been affected by frequent changes of service providers since 2020, alongside challenges related to staff shortages, high staff absenteeism and staff turnover at the crèche; takes note of the award of the current contract for Parliament’s childcare services in Brussels to a new company established shortly after the publication of the tender and reportedly linked to the former provider, Esedra; recalls the early termination by the Parliament of the contract with the previous provider of the Crèche Wayenberg, Esedra after a number of serious allegations against that contractor; reiterates that decent working conditions and adequate pay for external staff, including training, skills development, measures against violence and harassment, meaningful social dialogue and investment in staff wellbeing should, where relevant, be a priority consideration in public procurement of Parliament as a matter of principle; calls for an independent external audit of the tender procedure and of the implementation of the current contract, including an independent external assessment of working conditions and staff wellbeing;’
