ISO 44001 supports organisations that work in partnership with other organisations by allowing knowledge, skills and resources to be shared effectively. This can help your organisation to win bids and tenders. Companies that work together can often achieve much more in collaboration than they can alone.

Collaborative business relationships require management systems to be functional and effective. Often key aspects are ignored and can lead to business relationships and success being damaged, which can easily be prevented with ISO 44001 certification.

ISO 44001 is especially relevant to organisations wanting to improve efficiency and partnership working; particularly those embarking on mutually beneficial commercial projects or those with the responsibility of managing supply chains associated with joint ventures and the delivery of projects.

There are several benefits of achieving your ISO 44001. It can help organisations to:

• Identify how relationship management can help achieve business objectives
• Evaluate the benefits of entering into single or multiple partnerships
• Select the right partner to complement the organisation’s strategic objectives
• Build better relationships that lead to quicker results
• Share cost, risks, resources and responsibilities
• Provide staff with wider training opportunities
• Define roles and responsibilities to improve decision-making processes
• Develop and execute an exit strategy satisfactory to both parties
• Gain access to more services, more opportunities to win work and the resources to compete for bigger contracts

There are several industries where an ISO 44001 certification is a very common demand during the PQQ (Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire) stage of the tendering process.

It can be challenging to successfully structure, format, and communicate in your tendering application document how your company controls and manages any collaborative relationships.

Achieving ISO 44001 Certification means your business will now have a well-documented management system that has been implemented and executed. Having these policies and procedures in place now means that the majority of the responses to tendering questions will be easily accessible.
