SNCF purchases

What we buy

SNCF buys every year more than 4 billion Euros of products, services and works.
These purchases are made on behalf of SNCF itself or on behalf of RFF (Réseau Ferré de France), owner of the rail infrastructure.

They are split into 5 large segments :

Works
Supplies
Rolling stock
Services
Professional services: consulting, IT and engineering

Display segment details

Works	They concern the rail infrastructure or nearby installations linked to railway operations and buildings.
Supplies	They include the supplies required by rail production: technical products for rolling stock and infrastructure, vending machines and customer service staff equipment for passenger services, energy (electricity and fuel for engines)... and non-production supplies: IT, office supplies, furniture... This is a very large and diversified segment by the nature of its products, involving specialised rail industry as well as companies targeting the public.
Rolling stock	The rolling stock is a strategic component of SNCF procurement, because of the strong impact it has on the quality of the transport offer and because it involves the railway heavy manufacturing industry.
Services	To answer the ever more diversified expectations of its customers, services are being constantly augmented and expanded. They include, among other things, cleaning of public buildings and offices, cleaning, maintenance and refurbishment of rolling stock, enhancement of security in our facilities, passenger and freight transport by road and the associated upstream and downstream logistics, power transmission, telecommunication services, maintenance of fixed plant, on-board catering...
Professional and IT services, engineering	They include services of various natures: assistance and consulting, expert assessment of plant and structures, engineering design, training, communications, advertising and sales promotion. The IT sector also relies on sector-specific external resources.
