Meeting ethical supplier requirements

You will start to see new ethical supplier requirements in future tender documents.

We have developed a checklist and resources to help you in your next tender.

Consider these questions when demonstrating how your organisation's work meets ethical supplier requirements:

• Does your business meet the Ethical Supplier Threshold?
• Are you an ethical supplier who honours commitments made in your tender and contract?
• Do you comply with all policies and laws?

Completing your tender

Make sure your response demonstrates that you meet the Ethical Supplier Threshold.

You don't need to include additional information to demonstrate compliance with the Ethical Supplier Mandate.

We may request evidence and/or verify the information you provide with relevant regulatory bodies.

If you disagree with our decision

If you're suspected of unethical behaviour, we give you the opportunity to respond to all allegations and actions at 4 key points in the process.

An appeals process is also available if you feel unjustly penalised.
