COVID Business to Business (B2B) Assurance Tool

As part of New Zealand’s response to COVID-19, responsibility has been placed on buyers of services (Clients) to assure themselves that suppliers and contractors:

• develop, implement, operate, and monitor appropriate measures and controls in accordance with the COVID-19 Protection Framework, any applicable COVID-19 Order, any WorkSafe guidance, and any relevant industry guidance or protocols;
  
• keep up-to-date records on the COVID-19 vaccination status of all workers
  
• ensure that only workers who have been fully vaccinated (including any booster injection) or issued with a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate (CVC) are tasked with carrying out work in locations where work must be carried out by workers who are vaccinated under:
  

• • the requirements of a COVID-19 Order;
    
  • the requirements for the business to operate in compliance with the CVC rules; or
    
  • a mandatory vaccination policy adopted by the business.
    

• ensure that all sub-suppliers are compliant in the same way.
  

Tōtika has provided a simple new feature for contractors and suppliers to upload a signed ‘COVID-19 Statement of Assurance’.

This COVID-19 ‘self-certified’ status will appear within the Tōtika listing service provided to our registered clients, buyers of services, or other leaders of supply chains.

In addition to this, any supplier of services or contractor who uploads a properly completed and signed ‘COVID-19 Statement of Assurance’, will also
appear on a free COVID Compliance listing service.
