About RISQS
The Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) serves as a single-entry point for suppliers to the UK rail industry. Originally known as Achilles Link-up, RISQS was established to streamline the pre-qualification process for suppliers wishing to work in the Network Rail infrastructure, including London Underground.
RISQS plays a crucial role in the rail industry by offering a smarter, more efficient platform for supplier verification. Through rigorous independent assessment, RISQS ensures that only the most capable and qualified suppliers are visible to the industry’s largest buyers. This system not only enhances the procurement process but also reduces risks associated with supply chain management, providing a safer and more reliable service to the rail industry.
