RSSB1982 Supplier Assurance Management Services

Notice Description

The current Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) was developed to assist buyers search for suppliers working or wishing to work within Great Britain's (GB) Rail Industry by providing a fair, open and transparent third party qualification process. RISQS helps to reduce the duplication of effort that organisations see from capability checks (e.g. Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) and systems assessments) carried out by multiple buyers. It gives suppliers of all sizes an equal opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and market their products and services whilst ensuring compliance to cross industry standards. RISQS services include collection of the industry's supplier pre-qualification questionnaire, verification of the data provided and audits for suppliers that have indicated they provide services that require audit. The electronic collection and verification of data Services are included in Lot 1 and the audit Services in Lot 2. Please see associated specifications for further details. Additional information: Due to technical issues with Contracts Finder Appendix C is divided in 3 documents. We expect this to be rectified by close of play 09/12/16. Should you need to review this appendix before then please contract shareditt@rssb.co.uk. Please submit your responses before the deadline given in this notice by emailing shareditt@rssb.co.uk.
