What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. To this end, The Council has a legal obligation to ensure staff are first aid trained. A range of first aid products are required to meet the organisations requirements.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
