Before you take the step to pursue government tenders, it is important that you have an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) that will meet the requirements of government. This does not mean the same as government, but rather a system that meets the requirements set by government combined with the requirements of the tender.
You may be third party certified with ISO 45001:2018 or have an integrated system that includes safety, yet this is not the same. What government is looking for is specific answers to their questions for the tender be considered.
