Supplier & Independent Assurance Statement

Purpose

Wellbeing Places Equip Limited ("WBP Equip") engages suppliers, technology partners, and independent advisers to support the development, validation, and operation of its products and services.

This Statement provides a high-level overview of how the Company approaches supplier engagement and independent assurance as part of its governance and risk management framework.

Supplier Engagement Principles

WBP Equip seeks to engage suppliers and partners in a manner that is:

• proportionate to the scale and nature of the service provided;
• consistent with the Company's governance and risk expectations; and
• aligned with legal, ethical, and information-security considerations.

Supplier relationships are structured to support reliability, integrity, and accountability in the Company's operations.

Use of Independent Expertise

Where appropriate, WBP Equip may engage independent third-party experts to provide:

• technical or methodological validation;
• professional or specialist advice;
• peer review or challenge; and
• assurance support in relation to technology, data, or governance matters.

Such engagement is intended to strengthen decision-making and risk awareness.

Accountability and Control

Engagement of suppliers or independent advisers does not transfer responsibility or accountability for decisions, products, or outcomes away from WBP Equip.

The Company retains control over:

• governance and oversight arrangements;
• decisions relating to product design, deployment, and use; and
• compliance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

Risk Awareness and Proportional Oversight

WBP Equip recognises that third-party relationships can introduce operational, security, or reputational risk.

Accordingly, the Company applies oversight measures appropriate to the nature of the engagement, which may include:

• consideration of supplier capability and experience;
• contractual and governance safeguards; and
• ongoing review of material relationships.

Information Security and Data Considerations

Where suppliers or advisers have access to Company systems or data, WBP Equip seeks to ensure that appropriate safeguards are applied to protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Security and data-protection considerations form part of the Company's broader governance framework.

Transparency and Limitations

This Statement is intended to provide assurance as to the Company's approach to supplier engagement and independent assurance.

For commercial and security reasons, details of individual suppliers, contractual arrangements, and assurance methodologies are not disclosed publicly.

Review

This Supplier & Independent Assurance Statement is reviewed periodically to ensure it remains aligned with the Company's activities and governance framework.

All revisions must be approved by the Board and recorded in the Policy Register.
