Contractors Register

About the contractor registration system

We are committed to Work Health and Safety by ensuring the safety of our workers, contractors, ratepayers and visitors. All potential contractors must agree to abide by the safety policies and procedures which we have adopted. All of our workers work within these safety guidelines.

Our contractors and their workers are also expected to abide by these guidelines.

• The purpose in having a New Contractor Register is to ensure that there is a pool of contractors, who are able to provide a range of services that meet the appropriate Work Health and Safety, Insurance and WorkCover standards.
• Where the need arises to engage the services of a contractor, the contractor will be selected from the Contractor Register.
• If a tenderer is on the Contractor Register List they will not be required to submit Work Health and Safety, Insurance or WorkCover documentation with their tender.
• For those tenderers who are not on the Contractor Register they can download and complete an application form, or contact the WHS/ Risk Coordinator of the Organisational Development Department, to ensure compliance.
• An annual questionnaire will be forwarded to all contractors on the Contractor Register in order for them to pre-qualify for the following calendar year.
• Each contractor will also be required to provide documentary proof of their WorkCover Registration and Certificate of Currency from their insurers, not their brokers, for the appropriate insurances.
• Only those contractors who provide Work Health and Safety Insurance and WorkCover documentation to an acceptable standard will be retained on the Contractor Register.

Note: Like everything, once you register we can't guarantee work but it does allow our staff to have access to great performing local services.

Contractor Assessment

Prior to a new contractor being placed on the Contractor Register they will be required to complete this assessment and submit it with supporting documentation to the WHS/ Risk Coordinator of the Organisational Development Department for review. If approved, the contractor will be placed on the Contractor Register for use by all areas of Lithgow City Council. The WHS/ Risk Coordinator of the Organisational Development Department will provide assistance to the contractor to address the areas of concern.
