Who makes SchemeReady, and what it is not

Who makes it

SchemeReady is made and run by Denver House Consultancy Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, number 15473342, with its registered office at 82a James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk IP28 7DE. SchemeReady is a trading name of that company, and we say so on every page and every report. Denver House is a management systems consultancy; SchemeReady is its software product, and the two are sold separately so that you always know which one you are buying.

The ISO and sector scheme expertise behind SchemeReady is that of Louise Postill PCQI, the director of Denver House Consultancy. She is a Practitioner of the Chartered Quality Institute, an IRCA registered lead auditor and a qualified lead auditor for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001. Her background, qualifications and experience are set out on the Denver House site: meet the expert behind SchemeReady.

SchemeReady is not connected with Lantra, National Highways, UKAS, the Sector Scheme Advisory Committee or any certification body. We recommend no certification body and no other consultant, and we take no referral fees. If you need a certification body, the UKAS directory of management systems certification bodies is the place to look, and Lantra's Schedule of Suppliers shows who holds which sector scheme.

Where the questions come from

There is a bank for each standard we cover: ISO 9001 and National Highways Sector Schemes 12D, 12A/B, 12C, 16 and 23, with BS 99001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 being written. The standards page lists them all. Every sector scheme applies ISO 9001, so each pack sits on one shared ISO 9001 core: a sector scheme assessment includes that core and scores you against both, you never pay for ISO 9001 twice, and where two standards you hold ask the same question you answer it once.

The questions were written from the published document for each standard, the 12D bank from Issue 5 (July 2025) and the assessor and client guidance in its appendices, together with NHSS 0, National Highways' published safety alerts and Raising the Bar documents, and the general literature on ISO 9001 audits. Every source is listed on the sources page. We paraphrase; we do not reproduce scheme or ISO text, which belongs to its publishers. Each question shows the clause or appendix it relates to, and which standards it counts toward, so you can check it against your own copy of the document, which Lantra publishes free of charge.

Why it is generic and automated

Every user holding the same standards gets the same questions, the same scoring rules and the same suggested actions, and a separate score and band for each standard rather than one blended figure. Your answers are held in your own account and on your own devices. Nobody at Denver House can read them: there is no screen in our administration tools that shows a firm's answers, and every time a member of staff opens something you have chosen to share, it is written into your account's own history where you can see it. Nobody at Denver House reviews your report. That is what lets us say that using SchemeReady is not consultancy and not an audit: it is a self-assessment you carry out yourself, with a tool that asks the questions in a set order and scores the answers by a published rule.

The one exception is the Pro review, which you choose. If you buy the Pro upgrade and run it, the documents you pick and the questions you choose are sent to an automated review service and read by a language model. Even then no person at Denver House sees the files or the findings, and the documents are not kept after the run. The privacy notice names the processor and the how it works page describes the review.

What it is not

• It is not an audit, and a SchemeReady result is not a certificate or a promise about the outcome of an audit. An assessor sees your records, your sites and your people, and may reach a different view.
• It is not consultancy. If you want a person to look at your system, Denver House sells an expert hour on its own site, clearly labelled as consultancy and priced separately.
• It is not a safety assessment. The site walk records observations; Chapter 8, your own risk assessment and your competent person govern what happens on site.
• It is not a copy of any scheme or ISO document. Clause numbers are given for reference only so you can check our paraphrase against the original.

Keeping the content current

Each scheme document is reviewed by its committee at least once a year. We check Lantra's Schedule of Suppliers page every month and after any industry notice, record the check on the sources page, and publish a new version of the bank concerned when its document changes. A licence includes every bank version published during its twelve months, for every standard you hold. The 12D bank is written against Issue 5, July 2025, and the issue and date of every other bank are on the standards page. Last check: 5 September 2026. ISO 9001:2026 is scheduled for publication on 16 September 2026. The bank will be updated when the transition arrangements are published.
