Background
Palletland LTD is a pallet manufacturing, repair and treatment company based on Burtonhead road St Helens. Palletland distributes its product nationwide to a variety of business sectors, ranging from pharmaceutical, agricultural and automotive industries all the way to waste removals companies. Palletland provides a wide range of pallets options, from second hand repaired pallets to newly designed bespoke pallets tailored to its customer’s needs.
Palletland has been operating for almost 25 years, in 2014 Palletland saw a huge increase in its growth when it branched into the national market and a further increase again when the pandemic hit in 2020. During 2020 Palletland won St Helens Family Business of the year.
The recent growth of the business has brought about restrictions in certain areas as Palletland doesn’t currently hold any ISO accreditations, gaining the accreditations will allow continuing growth in a changing industry. It is hoped that the ISO accreditation will open new opportunities for the business to move into or expand within.
Requirement
Palletland is looking to gain UKAS ISO 9001 (quality management), UKAS ISO 45001 (occupational Health and safety) to help aid in the further expansion of the business.
This RFQ is for management consultancy services to aid Palletland Ltd with preparing and setting up its systems to gain ISO accreditation for 9001:2015, and ISO 45001
Deliverable Timescale
We expect the project to commence no later than May, and to be completed by August, this comes as Palletland will be tendering for future business and ISO will be a accreditation that will be needed to enable successful fulfilment of the tender.
