Contracting to Council

Commitment to health and safety

Taupō District Council wants to work with contractors who support health and safety practices that keep their workers and others safe from risks. The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) places a duty on a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure that contractors, subcontractors and their workers are not harmed while undertaking any work.

Taupō District Council will assist contractors in understanding health and safety practices, and will work together to consult, co-operate and coordinate efforts in regard to risk management. Our aim is to work together to prevent harm to our workers.

Ko au, ko koe, ko tāua - You, me, us together.

If you have any queries about health and safety, please get in touch with us by email to healthandsafety@taupo.govt.nz.

Consult, cooperate and coordinate

Representatives, clients, contractors and subcontractors all have a primary duty of care to manage health and safety. When working with other businesses (PCBUs) there are overlapping responsibilities to manage health and safety.

All PCBUs must, so far as is reasonably practicable, consult, co-operate with, and co-ordinate the management of risks involved with doing the work. Health and Safety is everyone's responsibility: Ask questions, share information, identify risks and suggest ideas.

For an overview of our approach to health and safety when working with suppliers, refer to our guide below: Working alongside Taupō District Council.

Council tenders and proposals on GETS

Taupo District Council advertises all tenders and proposals on the government electronic tendering system (GETS).

GETS is a free service managed by New Zealand Government Procurement that is designed to promote open, fair competition for New Zealand Government contract opportunities. Purchasers, including agencies and schools, use the service to publish contract opportunities. Suppliers and providers use the service to identify opportunities and tender for contract opportunities.

If you would like to participate in any Taupō District Council tenders, or proposals you will need to register on the GETS platform which is free of charge.
