Best practice procurement: Delivering quality, value and reassurance
Kitemark Certification
No matter which field of procurement you work in BSI understand that you routinely deal with a wide variety of demands and constraints. A tool like Kitemark can help you meet all these challenges and gain the confidence and respect of stakeholders and customers alike.
The Kitemark is the UK’s oldest and most trusted product and service certification mark. By purchasing or specifying Kitemark products or service for your projects you can add unrivalled reassurance to your procurement decisions.
Kitemark is a voluntary system of certification which clearly shows companies who have achieved Kitemark status are committed to delivering quality, reliable and fit-for-purpose products or services. Kitemark companies are also re-audited at least annually so you can be sure that they will be consistent in delivering these benefits every time.
Specifying the Kitemark

Kitemark certification can add much needed reassurance to public sector procurement where your environment perhaps offers less option for negotiation or supplier flexibility. The Kitemark can help bridge the skills gap by delivering reliability and consistency in procurement decisions.
