We buy in essential goods and services that help us to run Britain’s rail network
Every year, we spend around £7bn on works, services or products, and we’re committed to maximising the value delivered by each and every supplier. We currently have around 11,000 listed suppliers – 4,000 of these were engaged in the last financial year.
我们每年调查我们的供应商，以更好地了解他们对我们的看法以及我们如何改进。我们已经采取了五项主要行动来改善我们的采购实践，并清楚地表明我们对改善供应商关系的承诺：
类别families
We’ve established 30 category families which cover our entire expenditure profile. While doing this, we defined the category scope by connecting it withRISQS codes.
类别strategies consider the category from a company-wide perspective and use historic and, more importantly, future demand and market analysis to define a three-to-five-year strategy for each category family.
