TŌTIKA Assessment
Understanding your prequalification needs
We provide assessment services for two Health and Safety Prequalification frameworks: PREQUAL and TŌTIKA.
Both frameworks are designed to ensure contractors meet high health and safety standards. It's important to choose the Prequalification type that best fits your industry and client requirements. If you're uncertain, please contact us for advice.
