Common questions

Do general services tenders require COIDA letter of good standing?

912 general services tenders on record name it in their bid documents, and 42 of those are open right now. It is not universal — plenty of tenders in this category do not ask for it — but on this kind of work it is common enough to plan for.

Can I bid on a general services tender without COIDA letter of good standing?

Not on the ones listed here. Where a tender names COIDA letter of good standing as a requirement, a bid without it is normally disqualified at the administrative stage, before anyone opens your pricing. That is the expensive part: you do the work of pricing a bid and it is never read.

What is a COIDA letter of good standing?

It is a certificate from the Compensation Fund confirming your business is registered for workplace injury cover and that contributions are paid up. Buyers ask for it so they are not exposed if someone is hurt on their site.

Do I need COIDA if I have no employees?

If you genuinely employ nobody, COIDA registration does not apply to you. Many buyers still ask for proof, so the usual route is a letter or affidavit confirming you have no employees. Directors of a company who draw a salary do count as employees.

How long is a letter of good standing valid?

Typically twelve months, and it lapses if you fall behind on contributions or do not submit your annual return of earnings. Check the expiry date against the tender closing date, not against today.
