Council contractor prequalification
The Co-Lab pathway helps participating councils use contractors who operate with effective health and safety management systems and hold current, relevant insurance.
Tōtika / Totika prequalification NZ
SHE Pre-Qual Co-Lab contractor prequalification
Since 2016 SHE Pre-Qual has worked with Waikato and Bay of Plenty councils to streamline contractor prequalification.
Benefits for contractors
Contractors can be pre-qualified for multiple councils through one process, with insurance renewals managed annually.
Co-Lab and Tōtika
From 1 October 2024, Co-Lab councils agreed to accept the health and safety prequalification status of contractors under the Tōtika system.
Co-Lab or Tōtika?
If your council or client asked for Co-Lab prequalification, use the Co-Lab registration path. If they asked for Tōtika, review the Tōtika pathway and category guide before registering. If you are unsure which one applies, contact SHE Pre-Qual before paying.
