The benefits of an ISO management system and how they can help with tenders

 

In these uncertain times, we are all looking for ways of maintaining and even growing our business, so, how helpful would it be, if when that tender documentation comes through the door you can tick the box that says “Yes, my management systems are certified to ISO standards”. QHSE Aberdeen have been providing ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000 specialist knowledge to businesses across the North East of Scotland, and further afield for over five years.

ISO managements take a wholistic approach to streamlining and making your business as efficient as it can be through all business areas.  From finance to operations to sales, a properly written, implemented & maintained ISO Management system drives continual improvement in every facet of your business. 

In real terms an ISO management system, if appropriate, will provide your business a platform to grow, raise productivity, innovate, bring in those new customers, and keep them happy.

Achieving new business is always challenging but a certified ISO management system can grow your business because it can allow you to be skipped to the front of the queue of companies vying for work.

When your potential customers are tendering for work, one of the easiest ways for them to filter out suppliers is to determine which companies can offer the reassurance of having an effective ISO Management system.  Your customers will then know you have in place processes to supply them with what they need, when they need it consistently, and in the off chance you don’t get it right, you have the processes for capturing that non-conforming output, tracing it, and rectifying it. 

An ISO management system gives confidence in the robust nature of your company, as you have considered the factors both within and out with your control that could have an effect on business performance. The ISO management systems require, your business to consider not only the requirements imposed on you by legislation, but also those requirements imposed on you by any stakeholder, from your shareholders through to your neighbours. This, if done well, can make your business incredibly robust.

With an ISO Management system, you will have confidence in your businesses abilities to always stay ahead and provide the best product or service you can. ISO management systems recognise and require continual improvement of what you have, to make sure that you are always running as efficiently as you can be. 

Making it easier for a new worker to fit into your team is highly desirable, you want your new colleague to gain an understanding of how things work and their responsibilities.  This can be made incredibly easy by having your work processes documented in a universally used format.   ISO Management systems allow you to follow the same pattern as many businesses across the globe, whilst still tailoring the content to your own business needs, making this new colleague comfortable with their new role and responsibilities faster.

Having in place an appropriate management system is one of the best ways to run a business, but you can still make that tendering process easier by implementing a formal ISO management system.  The specialists at QHSE Aberdeen are always open to discussions on how ISO management systems can provide you the platform to achieve your business goals, grab those contracts and be the most successful version of your business.
