Quality management
To keep our operations and the French rail network safe, we monitor the quality of the products and services we buy at all times. Which means suppliers must meet the demanding specifications set in our contracts.
Quality control
For some contracts, our partner businesses must have a quality management system that complies with the NF EN ISO 9001 standard.
SNCF Group may also conduct or outsource supplier reviews and audits, and assess the quality of the work, supplies, or services provided during or at the end of each contract. Quality requirements appear in our quality specifications.
Purchases which do not require qualification
Our selection criteria are tailored to each purchasing project and are defined for each invitation to tender. This ensures that contract are properly performed, without risk of default, and enables us to assess your company’s key capabilities:
- administrative and legal
- economic and financial (solvency, profitability).
We also use the selection criteria to assess your company’s technical capabilities, including whether your company has:
- a professional qualification certificate (such as Qualibat) or quality assurance certificate
- the necessary technical and human resources to ensure that you can meet quality requirements and deadlines
- relevant, up-to-date references for similar projects.
