Through procurement shared services our standard contract documents lay out what the requirements are on all aspects of the contract including roles and responsibilities for the contractor around safety. We are looking at the working around the principal contractor. I think that was raised in part of the question, and that’s one of the things we are doing on our contract template, is to review the application and that wording to address those issues that the Member has raised.

We’re also working closely with the Safety Association to strengthen the wording in our contract documents and with the Construction Association around requirements for contractors to have safety plans in place while we do our work. On our large construction projects and our buildings and works projects we do have requirements for safety meetings and site meetings, and we do have those requirements in the administration side of the contract.

Procurement shared services also covers goods and services and contracts other than construction contracts, as well, so it’s responsible for the tendering, the procurement and the template documents.
