ISO becomes a must for suppliers to the ESB Ireland

A client of mine contacted me regarding a new tender to supply the ESB document that was issued in March of this year. In the past as a supplier if you had ISO 9001 certification you could skip a number of questions in the application, in the latest tender document it is a pass or fail question meaning if you don’t have ISO certification then you can no longer supply the ESB.

ESB Ireland have made it a pass of fail to have ISO 9001,
