Not sure if this has been asked before and I can't seem to easily find an answer to my question. Can anyone tell me if a large organisation (e.g. a University), which has various smaller, self-contained sub-units (for example, say a stand-alone building/Institute/department) can seek 18001 accreditation for the sub-unit in it's own right, especially if the organisation as a whole (or in the main) is unlikely to be in a position to seek or obtain a successful outcome in relation to 18001 accreditation?

Companies operating over various sites can seek accreditation for a single site, so in theory a university should be able to go for accreditation for a department or building.

Yes we have two accreditations for two separate business units operating on one site.

Thank you all very, very much for your replies. It would seem that this route could be possible which was what I was hoping to hear. Thank you :)
