The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with contract awards made on 24th October 2017, and a contract period commencing on 6th November 2017, extending until 5th November 2021.

With the framework open to public sector bodies, businesses can secure long-term contracts and establish a presence within the growing market for employee screening services across the UK.
