Suppliers & Contractors

Sourcing, category management and supplier management for both Goods and Services is undertaken by the Metro Procurement Department. They are also responsible for the selection of all suppliers engaged by Metro.
Unless a separate overriding contract has been entered into with Metro, all Goods and Services supplied to Metro are required to be supplied in accordance with our standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions and Procurement Standard.

Rail Industry Contractor and Supplier Qualification Program (RICSQP)

The RICSQP is a foundational element of our ongoing commitment to moving passengers safely and efficiently across our network, as well as providing a safe, healthy and compliant work environment for all Metro Trains Melbourne Pty Ltd (Metro) partner companies, employees and the Australian Rail Industry.

The program’s focus is designed to align all partner companies with the sustainable business practices we believe to be absolutely necessary for Metro to meet those commitments.

We want to ensure that all our contractors, suppliers and service providers (On and Off Site) meet and maintain all requirements and conditions of our business relationship including, but not limited to, general business, safety, quality, technical, environmental, insurance, financial, sustainability, operational and rail specific.

To register in the RICSQP please have your Metro contact request your company be raised as a new supplier, Procurement will then initiate the registration process.
