ISO certification helps organisations win government contracts by proving their systems are robust, auditable, and aligned with public expectations. Frameworks like ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 are often pre-requisites in PQQs, tenders, and regulatory reviews.
AvISO has supported SMEs and large contractors alike in achieving ISO certification to unlock public sector opportunities — including construction, IT, education, and consultancy providers.
Public sector suppliers are expected to meet complex procurement standards, including GDPR, ESG, cyber security, and financial transparency. The increasing use of frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems means organisations must regularly prove compliance through independent certification.
Additionally, providers must demonstrate business continuity planning, ethical data handling, and consistency across multiple contracts and locations — while adapting to evolving expectations around social value, sustainability, and digital security.
AvISO helps businesses meet public sector demands with structured, certifiable management systems that simplify compliance and improve bid-readiness. We align ISO standards to PQQ and tender frameworks, creating systems that are both efficient and auditable.
We support rapid and phased certification for organisations needing to meet framework deadlines or strengthen tender submissions. Our consultants align policies and procedures with ISO and contractual requirements, covering quality, security, sustainability, and resilience.
ISOvA Toolbox provides real-time dashboards, version control, and audit trails — ensuring full readiness for client audits or contract monitoring.
We provide ISO awareness and internal audit training, plus support with client-specific requirements such as the NHS DSPT, MOD Cyber Security Model, and local authority policies. We also help interpret tender specifications and map responses to ISO clauses.
Provides the structure to deliver consistent, auditable service to public sector standards. Often a pre-requisite for frameworks or multi-year contracts.
ISO 27001 – Information Security Management
Essential for handling citizen data, sensitive files, or IT systems — including education, healthcare, housing, or consultancy providers. Supports GDPR and DSPT compliance.
ISO 22301 – Business Continuity Management
Required for critical services or infrastructure providers. Demonstrates the ability to maintain operations in the face of disruption, supply chain issues, or cyber incidents.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
Demonstrates a structured approach to sustainability, emissions reduction, and procurement impact. Increasingly tied to Net Zero and Social Value frameworks.
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety
For contractors operating on-site, in public venues, or delivering physical services, this standard proves risk management, incident control, and regulatory compliance.
ISO 27701 – Privacy Information Management
Extends ISO 27001 to offer detailed control over personal data management, consent, and access. Particularly important for public sector clients with sensitive user data.
ISO 42001 – Artificial Intelligence Management
As AI is adopted across digital public services, ISO 42001 helps suppliers demonstrate governance and ethical use — especially in analytics, case management, or citizen engagement.
We understand the need to meet complex procurement demands without creating red tape internally. At AvISO, we help suppliers create ISO systems that are lean, usable, and directly tied to operational goals — not just tick-box compliance.
