There is a two step
process for independent contractors to be able to
provide CEHI program services:
1) The contractor must submit a completed
Approved
Vendor form with deposit to validate
their eligibility and specifically verify what training, certifications and
equipment the contractor currently has in good standing. Based on this
verification the contractor must obtain the required instruction and equipment
to operate ESP’s proprietary on-line systems and to deliver the program
services. There is a charge to the contractor to receive this equipment and
instruction, subject to the verification process (e.g.: if contractor has
obtained certain certifications and/or equipment previously there are discounts
to the amount charged). Note, the contractor can either purchase the sampling
kit from ESP or (preferably) order it direct from the supplier.
2)
Once the contractor has obtained the necessary approved vendor status
they must execute a standardized independent contractor agreement.
