Implementing ISO 22301 provides a framework to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a business continuity management system (BCMS).

It is expected to help organizations protect against, prepare for, respond to, and recover when disruptive incidents arise. It is recognised now, both within the public and private sectors, that business continuity HAS to be considered a necessary part of every operations due to the increase in threats and risks to daily operations.

More and more public sector organisations are expecting the suppliers within their supply chain to have a robust, rehearsed and resilient business continuity management system or, as a minimum, a tried, tested and proven comprehensive plan in place.

Public Sector Clients want the assurance, up front when running a procurement exercise, that if something could go wrong whilst your delivering goods or services to them that the impact on them will be minimal or none existent. Suppliers are not only looking to implement ISO 22301 just to win business, many are implementing ISO 22301 to ensure they remain operational and in business should an unplanned disruptive activity or occurrence arise as they are then in a position to cope.
