Integrated Management Systems · ISO 45001 / 14001 / 9001
Win the tenders that demand ISO. Get your management system documented in weeks.
Ashdown Safety builds tender-ready ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 documentation for UK manufacturers, contractors and industrial suppliers — chartered-led, fixed-price from £6,000, and delivered in weeks rather than the months larger consultancies quote.
The tender problem
Your biggest customers now require ISO accreditation to keep you on the list.
Tier-1 contractors and manufacturers increasingly make ISO 45001, 14001 and 9001 a condition of doing business. It is a board-level buying signal — and a deadline you did not set.
01 · The buying signal
No certificate, no bid
Prime contractors and OEMs list ISO accreditation as a pre-qualification requirement. Without a management system in place, you are filtered out before your quote is ever read.
02 · The time cost
Months you don't have
Traditional consultancies scope this as a drawn-out project of hourly meetings and part-finished templates — while the tender deadline keeps moving closer.
03 · The template trap
Downloads don't pass audit
A UKAS-accredited assessor wants procedures and registers that match how you actually operate. Generic templates with your logo on the front do not survive the certification audit.
Fixed-price packages
Three ways to get accredited — each one a fixed price, quoted up front.
Choose a single standard, the full integrated SHEQ system, or integration with hands-on support all the way through your certification audit.

What you receive
A complete management system — populated with how you actually work.
Delivery in practice
A cement plant, an integrated system, and a deadline that others couldn't meet.
Referred by a national consultancy partner, Ashdown Safety delivered a full integrated management system documentation package for a cement manufacturing plant — the health, safety, environmental and quality documentation the site needed to satisfy its customers and prepare for certification. The work was completed in a fraction of the timescale quoted elsewhere, at a fixed price agreed before it started.
How it works
From kick-off to certification-ready in weeks.
Kick-off call
We scope your standards, sites and current position on one call — and quote a fixed price before any work starts.
Gap analysis
A clear picture of where you are against the standard, and exactly what needs to be built to close the gap.
Documentation build
Procedures, registers and policies written to your operation. Draft in your inbox within weeks, not months.
Review workshop
We walk the system through with you, refine it against how you actually work, and finalise together.
Handover & audit prep
Final editable pack that you own, organised for your certification audit — with support into the audit itself on Enterprise.
Common questions
Straight answers before you get in touch.
What is an integrated management system?
An integrated management system (IMS) combines several ISO standards — typically ISO 45001 (health & safety), ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 9001 (quality) — into one set of shared procedures, registers and policies, rather than three separate systems that overlap and contradict. It is more efficient to run, easier to audit, and the route most UK manufacturers and contractors take when customers require accreditation across all three.
Which ISO standards do you cover?
ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 9001 (quality management) — individually or fully integrated as a combined SHEQ system.
How long does ISO 45001, 14001 or 9001 documentation take?
Ashdown Safety delivers a complete documentation set in weeks, not the several months typically quoted by larger consultancies. The exact timescale depends on the number of standards, sites and your starting position, and is confirmed at the kick-off call.
How much does ISO documentation cost?
Fixed prices start at £6,000 for a single standard, £9,500 for a fully integrated 45001 + 14001 + 9001 system, and £14,000 for integration plus hands-on implementation support through certification. Every fee is fixed and agreed before work begins.
Do you help with the certification audit itself?
Yes. Every package is prepared so a UKAS-accredited assessor sees the documentation the way they expect. The Enterprise package adds attendance at your certification audit and support with any corrective actions afterwards.
Who is this for?
UK manufacturers, industrial suppliers and contractors — typically £5M–£100M turnover — who need ISO accreditation to win or keep tender business, and who want it done quickly and at a predictable price.
Do you work across the UK?
Yes. Documentation is delivered remotely so we work with clients UK-wide, with on-site support available for implementation and audits where needed.
