Switch from SGS to local delivery — the honest guide
If your ISO or compliance work with SGS feels enterprise-priced and English-led, local delivery might fit better. This guide covers what to compare — and how to switch mid-project without losing momentum.
What to compare before switching
| Factor | SGS | Bitrixme |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Inspection, testing, certification | Implementation, training, consultancy |
| Local presence | GCC offices | Bahrain-based, in-person |
| Language | English-led | Arabic and English |
| Price | Project quotes | Published ranges |
| Continuity | Handover on your own | We review and take over existing work |
How the switch works
- Book a free compliance health check.
- We review your existing documentation and audit schedule.
- We take over implementation and training.
- SGS can remain your certification body — the audit is separate from the consultant.
Switch from SGS — FAQ
Can SGS still be our certification body?
Yes — we prepare you for whichever accredited body you choose, including SGS.
Will this cost more overall?
We publish prices in writing; for SME-scoped projects our rates are typically below global consulting rates. Compare the quotes yourself.
What about testing services?
Testing and inspection stay with SGS where required — we do not replace those services.
