ISO9001, which recognises the high standards and quality delivery of services at bid, will help the charity to demonstrate its ability to provide - and innovate - services.

A spokesperson for bid services said "The ISO9001 quality mark is further recognition that everyone here at bid works exceptionally hard to ensure we deliver quality services to the communities we serve".

It is also hoped that the newly attained mark will help to provide opportunities for new services that will benefit the community.  "This shows that we can work to a very high standard and validates the quality of work and service we provide.  Hopefully it will contribute to bid services' continued growth and development."
