Sorry to jump in late on this but I am a little confused.
You say your internal calibrations are being done by this "new business" but they are using your procedures and won't accept responsibility for their work because they aren't certified yet.
I understand they are no longer employees but are they doing the work in your building? Are they using your standards? Are they maintaining the calibration records of your company? If they are not taking the work off site and they are not providing certificates of calibration, are they not just contract workers in your facility?
Do you still send your standards to an accredited lab for calibration and maintain records of traceability to NIST?
My point here is to suggest that even though the personnel performing the calibrations are contracted, you are still complying with the calibration and internal lab requirements of the standard (both ISO 9001 and TS 16949).
You would, of course, need to demonstrate the competence of the contract workers. Presumably the use of temporary contract workers is already covered somewhere in a procedure or policy.
Just a thought.
