Procurement policies 

Southeastern takes care in way that we source the goods and services required to support our organisation. We pride ourselves in working fairly and transparently with our current and prospective suppliers. Sustainability is important to us and we proactively incorporate key factors into our tender processes and contracts. For more information download the Go-Ahead Sustainable Supply Chain Charter.

As a member of the rail community, Southeastern primarily utilises the 'Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme' (RISQS) for the vast majority of our sourcing requirements and to invite relevant suppliers to tender opportunities. Suppliers are required to register with this scheme in order to participate.

Where a tender requirement falls outside of the scope of RISQS (or for a variety of other factors), we may also issue a contract notice using the ‘Find a Tender’ service provided by the UK Government. Please note that this portal is not exclusive to Southeastern.

Unfortunately, Southeastern is unable to respond to unsolicited approaches to supply us with goods or services.
Southeastern is also part of a wider group of transport operating companies and will also approach the market via The Go-Ahead Group plc.
