The cost of ISO consultancy in Saudi Arabia can vary based on several factors:

1. Type of ISO Standard:

Different ISO standards (ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, etc.) have different complexities, affecting consultancy costs. More specialized standards might require deeper expertise, increasing the fees.

2. Size and Complexity of the Organization:

• Small businesses may have less documentation and processes, resulting in a lower cost.
• Large organizations or those with multiple branches, complex operations, or high-risk industries (like oil & gas) may incur higher fees due to the scale of the audit and consultancy work involved.

3. Consultancy Scope:

• Some consultancies offer comprehensive packages including gap analysis, documentation, training, internal audits, and support during external audits, which increases the cost.
• limited services (like only document preparation or audit readiness) will be cheaper.

4. Duration of the Project:

• A project that takes longer due to the need for more detailed assessments, training sessions, or multiple locations will generally cost more.
• Shorter-term or quicker implementations are typically more affordable.

5. Reputation and Expertise of the Consultancy:

More experienced or reputed ISO consultancy tend to charge higher fees due to their established success and credibility in achieving certification.

6. Location and Industry:

Some cities or sectors may experience a demand for specific ISO certifications (e.g., Riyadh for tech or logistics certifications), which might drive up costs. Additionally, high-risk industries like construction or oil & gas might have higher consultancy costs.

7. Certification Body Fees:

Consultancy costs are separate from certification fees charged by accredited bodies, but these fees need to be considered as well.

Typically, prices in Saudi Arabia range from SAR 15,000 to SAR 100,000 or more depending on the above factors.
