Contractors and Trades EOI

Working for Council

To be considered for work with Council, including projects aligned to recent major State and Federal Government grants, contractors and trades need to supply Council with all relevant documentation, including the relevant Insurance, WHS documents, all your relevant SWMS, WHS Management systems and licences. Bland Shire Council uses Donesafe as our contractor data base system. You will receive notification from Donesafe requesting you provide relevant documents including insurances and workers details.  

Only compliant contractors, staff and sub-contractors who have attended a Bland Shire Council WHS induction are permitted to work on Council projects or sites.

Council is committed to working with you to assist you to become a compliant contractor/tradesperson.

Contractor Induction Process

No contractor/tradesperson can be engaged by Council until all relevant and up to date documentation is received and the contractor/tradesperson and any relevant staff/sub contractors have attended a Council induction.

Contractors will be asked to provide copies of all relevant licences, insurance information, certificates of competency, traffic control tickets, trade certificates and White Cards when attending the Council WHS Induction.

This is a general WHS Induction and does not attempt to provide all of the information. For further information it is recommended that you visit the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.

Your Bland Shire Council contact will arrange a WHS Induction prior to you or your staff commencing any work.
