Averil, welcome to the Forum! FYI there have been a couple of threads on this topic which could be useful (apologies if you've already looked at these!):

• https://forum.safeguard.co.nz/discussion/17/contractor-pre-qualification-approval-systems/p1

Hi Averil I am happy to send you the requirements we have our Subcontractors sign off on if it helps as a a starting point.

Hi Averil
CHASNZ has introduced the Totika Prequalification Scheme https://www.chasnz.org/totika, this scheme is the first in New Zealand to PAS91 Standard, which is also recognised by the Government. I'm working on Contractor Management at the moment, and in the Health industry we're looking at Totika for all DHB's. PAS91 is available to download and has the standard questions plus appendices if required.

So here is another prequal

Totika isn't a pre-qualification scheme. It's an alignment and recognition of existing schemes so that multiple prequals are no longer needed.

So will it apply to all industries? and would our customers need to be a part of it

It would apply to all industries, and yes the customers would need to accept it.

Just as a question, what if they choose not to join we would still be doing multiple prequals, and if that is the case nothing has been gained for those of us that currently do 4 or more each year

I note that the header in the Totika says "Cross-recognition for Health and Safety pre-qualification in the NZ construction industry "

So I refer back to a question earlier "So will it apply to all industries? and would our customers need to be a part of it"

Reading the statement on the website it would appear that it only applies to the construction industry which only makes up 20% of our business so the numbers would not stack up. I would be better doing the multiple prequals as the cost is less than the cost of accreditation to Totika.

Hi Don, CHASNZ have adopted it, I understand there is more to be announced later this month. As I mentioned before, Totika is based on PAS91 (Publicly Available Specification). PAS91 Download

It all depends on what the customer requires. At the moment Safe365 are the only certified Totika Scheme provider but more to be added to the list.

That would be great. thanks.

Sorry that I missed this thread.

For clarity Tōtika is currently launching in Construction, but the scheme has been designed to apply across industries in the future. This project has been funded by government and once we have completed a successful roll out this year in construction, there are plans to broaden the 'umbrella' if that is what other industries desire. We also have plans to cover more than H&S to provide a single PQ recognition scheme for suppliers and buyers of services.

Hi Avril, sorry for the late reply but I have been on leave. What is your email address?

Hi Averil,
I have developed a lot of Industry Pre-Qualification procedures for different industries. Some are desk top assessments of Health and Safety Management systems and other more involved score tested assessments and work place audits for evidence. One size does not fit all and it depends on the industry you are involved in. Happy to help and I can forward you some examples if you e-mail me on chrissyatbwsafetydotcodotnz

Hi Chrissy, my email address is averildotstevensonatecocentraldotcodotnz.
Many thanks Averil

Hi Averil,
I am happy I was able to help :)

Yes and yes; we are working on it I promise you :-)

I know your post was a while ago (apologies, I haven't been on here in a while). Here is the link to our most recent version of our assessment standard - Tōtika Questionnaire Guidance and Minimum Evidence Required

My remark was 6 months ago and the situation has changed we are using Totika and just pointing our customers is that direction

So are Aconex, Oracle, Eco Po

Hi Jon, Thanks for that information. Very helpful. regards Averil

The fault in mine for being tardy; I thought I would anyway in case it was useful to others. Thanks for supporting is Don; change is hard :-)
