A quality management process is any set of procedures or activities that control or monitor the standard of work delivered by a service provider. Consultants who operate a certified quality management system (for example to AS/NZS ISO 9001) may submit details.
But a certified QMS will not be a requirement for joining the scheme. However, all consultants and contractors must submit evidence of their quality management processes.
This may include a project quality plan or quality management plan for a given project, a sample Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) schedule or other work conformity checklist (for example testing protocols, internal review/audit process, design plan, subcontract management processes, document control process).
To ensure speedy processing of your application, please submit as many documents as you feel are relevant to your circumstance. Smaller enterprises and sole traders may submit a concise statement of their QM processes. QM terminology and general principles can be found in NSW Quality Management Systems Guidelines for Construction.
