Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured an external service to carry out Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks as part of safer recruitment. The requirement is for personnel screening services, supporting the council’s recruitment process. The work is for the council across the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single lot and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Staffvetting.com. The award date was 3 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 28 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £1.3 million excluding VAT (£1.56 million including VAT). The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, taking the latest end date to 31 December 2031. The council used an open procedure. Seven bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and non-price quality at 30%. The original tender submission deadline was 22 May 2026.

This award shows demand from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for an external provider able to deliver DBS checks within a safer recruitment service. A future competitor would need the operational capacity and processes to handle recruitment-related screening reliably for a public-sector buyer, as well as a clear, competitive price and a strong quality case. The council’s evaluation gave price the greater weight, while retaining a substantial assessment of non-price quality. The selected supplier was an SME, and the requirement was explicitly considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that the work was not restricted to large providers. Suppliers focused on DBS checking and personnel screening are therefore the closest fit; wider recruitment or staffing services alone would not establish relevance without the ability to carry out the DBS process.
