Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS)
The Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS)
is a pre-qualification scheme designed to assess and monitor suppliers'
capabilities to work safely and efficiently within the rail industry in the
United Kingdom.
RISQS provides a comprehensive system for evaluating
suppliers, ensuring their compliance with industry standards, policies, and
regulations.
Developed in Collaboration
RISQS was developed in collaboration with key stakeholders
in the rail industry, including Network Rail, Transport for London (TfL), and
other rail organisations.
This scheme offers a
centralised platform where suppliers can demonstrate their capabilities, manage
their qualifications, and connect with potential buyers within the rail
industry.
Primary Goals
The primary goal of RISQS is to ensure that suppliers
working in the rail sector meet specific safety, quality, and competency
requirements.
By undergoing the rigorous assessment process, suppliers can
showcase their commitment to delivering high standards of service, maintaining
a safe working environment, and adhering to industry best practices.
