Achilles works to identify, qualify, evaluate, and monitor suppliers on behalf of major organisations worldwide.
SQMC assist companies who have difficulty in preparing for an Achilles "Utilities Vendor Database" (UVDB) Verify audit either through lack of time or resources. SQMC’s work in this area has been recommended by Scottish Power.
These services, allied with Achilles’ neutral stance, make the company a trusted partner for more than 650 of the world’s largest companies and for more than 40,000 suppliers registered around the globe.
Achilles requires suppliers to complete a pre-qualification questionnaire which they then verify through audit. The audit covers Health & Safety, Environmental and Quality Management Systems and arrangements.
I would like to thank SQMC for successfully helping us through our recent Achilles assessment (86%). Karen very efficiently installed our Health & Safety, Environmental and Quality system with little fuss and with your IRCA / SQMC Certificate of Competence we are now able to see how it works for us and is not just "a pile of paper".
Many Thanks,
Rodney Wilson,

For small and medium size enterprises the interpretation, preparation and completion of the pre-qualification questionnaire can prove daunting and SQMC provides a useful and successful service to bridge the gap - working with suppliers to identify what they do already and formalise it into an acceptable format. SQMC also work with suppliers to identify the gaps they may have and work closely with them to build into their work systems activities and actions that provide increased value to their business; as well as complying with Achilles requirements.
See the testimonial (top right) for what one supplier who has been successfully audited by Achilles - after SQMC have assisted them - had to say.
If you need practical, down-to-earth assistance to prepare for an Achilles audit, then don't hesitate to contact us here at SQMC, and talk through your requirements. Or if you prefer, why not contact us to arrange to speak to one of the suppliers we've helped!
