I am a little unclear about the type of business.  It sounds like a consultancy business that employs people to give H&S advice to clients.  Is that right?

It is for a business employing consultants and employees and relating to a Pre Qualification form for a contract.

Hi Christopher

Whilst I can see that this could quite easily be an assignment question I am going to assume it isn't!

This could be either or both of two question sets:

1. A typical prequal that asks you to explain how you manage health and safety in YOUR organisation.

2. Asking for evidence of experience relevant to the scope of services that the client may want to commission.

No 1 often assumes that the respondent has 5 or more employees and thus hits the threshold for various documents to be produced. May be this H&S consultancy has less and possibly you decide that you don't need to put every risk asesssment down in writing.

In my experience, No 2 would usually be dealt with not via prequal questions but rather the client setting out their brief (or draft brief) and asking the potential suppliers to set out proposals as to how they would deliver on same - including possibly defining the brief more closely.

Of course you might have to do both 1 and 2!
