Nexus Business Register for qhse and iso governance teams

Supplier control and audit evidence for QHSE and ISO governance teams

Every management-system standard asks the same question about suppliers and contractors: how do you select, evaluate, monitor and re-evaluate them, and where is the evidence? ISO 9001 clause 8.4 covers externally provided products and services, ISO 27001 Annex A 5.19 to 5.23 covers supplier relationships and cloud services, and ISO 45001 clause 8.1.4 covers procurement and contractors. Nexus Business Register turns everyday purchasing into that evidence, so the approved supplier list, reviews, decisions, findings and corrective actions are ready when the auditor arrives.

Match supplier invoices to projects without the admin headaches, and stay ISO-ready at the same time.

The problems we solve for qhse and iso governance teams

The approved supplier list lives in a spreadsheet

One supplier register with lifecycle status, owner and category, so approved, proposed and exited suppliers are clear and current.

Evaluations are not evidenced

Supplier reviews gather certifications, insurance, data-protection and security evidence, highlight missing or expired items and record the decision with reasons.

Purchasing bypasses the controls

Purchase requests and approvals link spend to approved suppliers, with segregation of duties where separation is required.

Findings and corrective actions drift

Plan audits, record findings and track corrective actions to closure in one register.

Audit preparation takes weeks

Every decision, review, invoice and approval is already on the record and governance records can be exported.

Questions from qhse and iso governance teams

Does Nexus help with ISO 9001 supplier evaluation?

Yes. It supports the control of external providers by keeping the supplier register, evaluation evidence, decisions with reasons and prior reviews together. Certification is awarded only by an accredited certification body.

Does it cover ISO 27001 supplier relationship controls?

It helps you evidence them: which suppliers process information, where data is located, the security and certification evidence reviewed, and the decision made. Nexus does not certify your organisation.

Can we manage contractors for health and safety?

Contractors can be held as suppliers with their insurance, certificates and other evidence, reviewed before approval, with missing or expired evidence highlighted. This supports ISO 45001-style contractor controls.

Can we track corrective actions from audits?

Yes. Audits, findings and corrective actions are recorded in an audit register and followed through to closure.

Can auditors see the evidence?

Governance records can be exported for an auditor, customer or your own archive, and each decision shows who made it, when and why.
