Occupational health and safety and sustainable development assessments

Hydro‑Québec promotes best practices in occupational health and safety (OHS) and sustainable development (SD) by including supplier assessments in these areas in most tender calls.

Bidders must fill out the standardized questionnaires on our external partner’s platform. Doing so will enable you to obtain a validated assessment report, as well as a score, which will be used to improve your bid. Please note that for most service markets, the OHS assessment report is now an eligibility criterion.
