In the interconnected world of the UK rail industry, gaining a foothold and establishing a reputable standing is crucial for suppliers aiming to contribute to the sector’s continuous growth and innovation. A pivotal step towards this goal is the RISQS (Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme) accreditation from the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS), a comprehensive supplier assurance framework designed to streamline procurement processes within the rail industry. As a consultancy firm with a robust track record, we specialise in guiding businesses through the RISQS accreditation process, ensuring they are well prepared to meet the industry’s stringent standards.
Why RISQS Accreditation Matters
RISQS serves as a gateway for suppliers to demonstrate their capabilities and gain visibility among over 90 buyer members, including major players in the rail industry. The scheme is recognised as an effective means of managing supply chain risks, thereby providing buyers with the assurance they need to do business confidently. Achieving RISQS accreditation not only validates your business’s capabilities but also positions you favourably in a competitive market.
