Vetted Contractors

This guidance is applicable for productions wishing to add contractors to the BBC's vetted list. The term contractor embraces all those companies and sole traders (or freelance people) providing a service for BBC productions.

 

BBC Procurement's aim is to have a system in place that leads to the selection and monitoring of contractors, who have appropriate standards of occupational risk management which includes; health, safety, fire, security and environmental management.  The approach which has been adopted is risk based.

 

Establishing the competence of a contractor with respect to the management of occupational risk is an integral part of the procurement process. How detailed the assessment will be, will depend on the type of goods or services the contractor will be providing and the level of associated risk.
