ISO 9001 Consultants UK

Practical ISO 9001 Consultancy with a 100% Certification Guarantee

With over 30 years’ experience, RKMS are trusted ISO 9001 consultants helping UK organisations achieve certification efficiently, practically, and without unnecessary paperwork.


We offer a 100% certification success rate and a certification guarantee – meaning we work for free until you pass.


Our approach focuses on lean, tailored Quality Management Systems that people actually use, supported by our own eQMS software, issosmart, to keep compliance straightforward long after certification.

Why Choose RKMS as Your ISO 9001 Consultants?

Many ISO 9001 consultants either overwhelm businesses with documentation or leave them struggling to maintain compliance. We do neither.

We’ve been supporting organisations with ISO standards for over three decades. Our experience allows us to identify what auditors actually expect – and what they don’t.

Every client we’ve supported has achieved ISO 9001 certification.

If you don’t pass your certification audit, we continue working at no extra cost until you do.
We believe in quality over quantity:
  • High-level, auditable procedures
  • Clear responsibilities
  • No unnecessary duplication
  • No documentation for the sake of it
If people won’t read it, it doesn’t belong in your system.

Our ISO 9001 Consultancy Approach

Our ISO 9001 consultancy is structured, proven, and tailored to how your business actually operates.

1. ISO 9001 Gap Analysis

We start by reviewing your current processes against ISO 9001 requirements to identify:

  • What you already do well
  • What needs to be documented
  • What needs to be introduced

If you already meet a requirement, we document your existing process – we don’t reinvent it.

2. Lean ISO 9001 Documentation

We implement a templated system tailored to your organisation, ensuring consistency while reflecting how your business works in practice.

Your ISO 9001 system is structured around core business functions, including:

  • Planning
  • Information & document control
  • Problems & continual improvement
  • Training & competence
  • Sales & administration
  • Supplier & subcontractor control
  • Operational control

High-level procedures are auditable and easy to follow.
Detailed or task-specific information is held in work instructions where appropriate – keeping the system lean and usable.

3. eQMS Implementation – issosmart

All ISO 9001 consultancy projects include access to issosmart, our own external eQMS software.

issosmart helps you:

  • Manage tasks and responsibilities
  • Keep documentation controlled and up to date
  • Maintain a current legal register
  • Reduce admin time
  • Stay compliant between audits

This significantly reduces the ongoing burden of ISO 9001 compliance.

4. Training & Awareness

We provide:

  • ISO 9001 awareness training
  • Training on using issosmart effectively
  • Guidance for staff involved in quality responsibilities

This ensures your system is understood, not just documented.

5. Records, Internal Audits & Management Review

We support you in:

  • Collecting and reviewing required records
  • Conducting ISO 9001 internal audits
  • Hosting a compliant management review

Everything is aligned to certification body expectations.

6. Certification & Ongoing Support

We can:

  • Support or attend your external certification audit
  • Help close any non-conformities
  • Provide ongoing ISO 9001 support post-certification

We also offer formal ISO training, including:

Do I Need an ISO 9001 Consultant?

While ISO 9001 can be implemented internally, many organisations choose experienced ISO 9001 consultants because:

  • Internal teams lack time or ISO expertise
  • Systems become overly complex
  • Certification audits identify avoidable issues
  • Ongoing compliance becomes difficult to manage

Our role is to simplify ISO 9001, reduce internal workload, and ensure certification is achieved efficiently.

  • Organisation size
  • Complexity
