nope. not allowed. its in the Code of Conduct policy and covered in detail in the Bribery Act training which we all repeat often.
so no more bottles of booze at Christmas from subbies, ( site guys never had the input into contractor choice and the bottles were gratefully accepted as it made Xmas a bit more affordable) . no more sporting events ( even golf days) , limited to what what we can accept, without prior approval in hospitality (i.e. being taken out for a decent evening meal) from suppliers on factory visits etc. we can exceed this but at each step change , which is quite a jump at each one you need approval from higher up the company .Most now fall under the approval required figure.
no more visits to the booby bars on factory tests and having the supplier cough out for , well you know.... with the cost being worked into the final account ...
generally its all for the better , but not all contractors in this industry play fair and most has been driven "underground" and hidden away.
company i work for doesn't tolerate deviation from it at all and is strict in the application of the rules and procedures. you will face disciplinary if you break it.
I offered a meal to a governing body inspector as we were out for the day and he declined for similar reasons , with the commebt f " it annoys me that they think i would have put my job on the line for a free lunch"
