EHDC's Guide for Suppliers

Policy Considerations

Health and Safety

Contracts will only be awarded to contractors who can satisfy the Council’s requirements in terms of health and safety competence, and that can demonstrate compliance with health and safety legislation. More information can be obtained from the Health and Safety Executive.

Equal opportunities

The Council is committed to promoting equality of opportunity irrespective of sex, age, race or disability. We will ensure that our contracts are delivered in a way that is non-discriminatory. We expect all of our suppliers to have equal opportunity policies in place, and to comply with all current legislation and the codes of practice issued by equality commissions. You can obtain more information from the Equal Opportunities Commission or from the Disability Rights Commission.

Sustainability

Our supplies are encouraged to demonstrate an awareness and contribution to sustainable development through their provision of goods and services.
