Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) accreditation achieved once again

 

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully been recertified with Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) accreditation. RISQS is a valuable resource that combines speed and simplicity when sourcing a supplier, whilst helping customers manage supply chain risk.

To be listed on the RISQS platform, all suppliers must confirm their capabilities. This includes a RISQS audit which provides independent verification of the systems and resources required for vital safety and performance requirements. For suppliers who pass the muster, such as ourselves, it proves to potential buyers that we are able to fulfill their needs in a quality driven, safe environment. It also removes the time consuming need to conduct their own audits.

RISQS gives buyers a comprehensive view of the supply chain, enabling them to find the right suppliers, with the right capabilities, at the right time. Using the RISQS platform, customers in the rail sector can search by product, service, skills, size and location, as well as safety and quality credentials, using terms standardised across the industry.

You can use the RISQS platform to demonstrate compliance with UK and EU procurement regulations. In some cases, it can also cover health and safety law and the Utilities Contract Regulations, so it has multiple benefits.

Chris Nelson, Head of QHSE at Brammer Buck & Hickman, comments “With our extensive product range and multiple engineering services, our portfolio for the rail sector is extensive. RISQS accreditation not only confirms we are able to deliver on these, but also shows we meet the standard required to work in this industry.”
