The changes include new classification codes and updates to existing codes, which help to ensure supplier capabilities are classified consistently across the rail industry and make it easier for buyers to identify relevant suppliers through RISQS searches.

What this means for suppliers

Suppliers should review the updated classification structure and make any necessary amendments to their RISQS accounts.

Keeping your classifications up to date helps ensure your organisation can be identified by buyers searching for the products and services you provide. If you have not yet reviewed the changes introduced as part of the latest RICCL update, we recommend doing so before making any updates to your account.

Audit requirements for some classifications

Please note that some classification codes may require an audit before compliance can be displayed within RISQS.

Suppliers must complete the relevant requirements to ensure compliance information is displayed against their selected classifications. Please review both the Your Products and Services page and the Your Requirements section in the RISQS portal. After updating a classification code, any outstanding actions can be tracked through the To Do List on your dashboard.

What buyers should be aware of

Buyers may begin to see changes to supplier classifications and compliance information as organisations review and update their RISQS accounts.

As suppliers align their profiles with the updated RICCL structure, classification information may continue to evolve over the coming weeks. Buyers should keep this in mind when carrying out supplier searches and qualification activities.
