What is Achilles qualification?
Qualification is the process of determining whether a supplier or potential provider meets a set of predetermined criteria. The RISQS (Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme) is specifically designed to assist rail firms with each of these areas of supplier assurance.
Choosing Link-Up over other assurance providers enables suppliers and buyers to have a far more individualised approach to supplier assurance while also assuring full compliance with specific industry criteria. Link Up’s features include membership packages that are tailored to satisfy the assurance needs of purchasers while also meeting the industry’s set requirements, among others.
Previously, purchasers in the UK rail industry could only acquire assurance services through RISQS. The RSSB, on the other hand, has just approved Link Up as a viable alternative to RISQS for modern rail industry purchasers.
