Demand is from domestic and international companies that specialise in fire testing, chemical and glass production, pharmaceutical, food, aerospace, military and automotive applications. Many applications require demonstration of the latest quality standards, namely ISO9001:2015. The business employs 8-10 staff and has grown steadily over the past few years. Accreditation to ISO 9001:2015 would assist in further efficient growth of the business. The creation of a revised ISO accredited quality management system would also support efficiencies in the day to day running of the business including: • product traceability • risk management • recruitment and training • customer satisfaction Obtaining and maintaining ISO9001:2015 accreditation will also enable the business to secure larger contracts and generate further opportunities for expansion and growth. The company understands the work required to obtain and maintain accreditation, having worked with older standards for ISO9001 and has standard operating procedures in place to cover the day to day processes within the business. Requirement - This RFQ is for management consultancy services to aid CCS with preparing and setting up its systems to gain ISO accreditation for 9001:2015. As CCS grows it expects to efficiently demonstrate UKAS accreditation to ISO standards (ISO9001:2015). Equally it will need recognised procedures in place to manage company expansion. Deliverable Timescale CCS is looking to commence the project immediately and complete within 3-6 months.
