Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Process Innovation Limited (CPI) is seeking a supplier to provide pre-employment screening services. Checks include identity, right to work, DBS, driving licences, directorships, education, employment and personal references, occupational history, adverse financial records, and professional or technical checks. The scope also includes end-to-end Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) screening, with a single consolidated report for each candidate covering identity, right to work, criminal records and employment history. The supplier must provide an online portal through which CPI can request checks, track their status and retrieve results. This is a recruitment screening service (CPV 79600000), delivered for CPI in the United Kingdom.

CPI invited offers through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period was set to run from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2029. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot. Evaluation allocates 40% to price and 60% to quality: 30% for service delivery and portal functionality, 15% for information security and system performance, and 15% for contract and risk management. Quality assessment covers delivery of the required checks and BPSS reports, security arrangements, data protection and regulatory compliance, report turnaround and lead times, accuracy controls, and issue management.

This opportunity suits established employment-screening providers able to deliver the full range of pre-employment checks and an integrated BPSS workflow. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate an easy-to-use portal for submitting requests, monitoring progress and securely retrieving outcomes, with single consolidated BPSS reports. The buyer expects support for single sign-on and evidence of a recognised UK or international information-security accreditation, such as ISO 27001 or equivalent. Bidders should be prepared to explain their data architecture, protection of primary and backup storage, and which staff can access CPI data. Strong candidates will also show robust data protection and regulatory compliance, reliable routine, ad-hoc and urgent reporting—including reports within 24 hours—quality controls for data accuracy, sample reports, and a formal process for escalating and resolving account issues.
