Requirements for tenders for ISO 45001 and 14001

ISO 45001:2018 has some requirements for procurement, contained in clause 8.1.4. For general procurement, you need a process to make sure that products and services meet the needs of the OHSMS. For contractors specifically, you need to coordinate the process to identify any hazards and control any OH&S risks that affect wither your organization or the contractor so that you can have the OHSMS requirements met by the contractor. For outsourcing, you need to control these functions to be consistent with legal requirements so as to achieve the outcomes needed for the OHSMS.

ISO 14001:2015 does not include any specific requirements for procurement or purchasing. However, in both cases you will need to ensure that any tenders include information necessary to maintain the EMS and OHSMS requirements; in other words let your suppliers know what they need to know to give you what you want to meet your requirements for all management system standard.
