6 min read - Updated 2026-06-25

Many contractors are asked to provide COIDA or Letter of Good Standing documents for tenders, supplier onboarding, and project compliance. The document should be current, readable, and placed correctly in the compliance section.

Why contractors need it

A Letter of Good Standing can be requested to show compensation-related employer compliance for certain types of work. Requirements depend on the client, tender, project, and official rules.

Check dates and details

Make sure the business name, reference details, expiry date, and certificate information are visible. If the document is scanned, use a clean copy so reviewers can read it without difficulty.

Add it to the right pack

For tenders, place COIDA or Letter of Good Standing documents in the compliance section unless the tender instructions specify another order. For project files, keep it with safety and contractor compliance records.

Quick checklist

  • Confirm the tender or client requirement
  • Check expiry date and business details
  • Use a clean readable PDF
  • Add it to the compliance section

Official resources

Requirements can change. Use official sources for current rules, portal steps, and compliance requirements.
