SNCF selection criteria
We adapt our criteria to each purchasing project and define them at the time of each invitation to tender. The aim of the selection criteria is to ensure that the contract is properly fulfilled without any risk of failure, and to analyse the company's key capabilities:
1. From an administrative, legal, economic and financial (solvency, profitability) standpoint.
2.
From a technical standpoint:

• • Possession of a certificate of professional qualification (e.g. Qualibat) or quality assurance certificate
• • Sufficient technical and human resources to guarantee service quality and ensure that deadlines are met.
• • Convincing and recent references from similar operations.
