## Summary

The University of Worcester has successfully completed the award stage of its procurement process to appoint a supplier for disclosure and barring services, using the G Cloud 14 Agreement. This contract, set to run from 9th April 2025 to 8th April 2029, is crucial for students and staff across various programmes, particularly those in Health and Education. Atlantic Data Ltd, based in Milton Keynes, has been selected as the supplier. This procurement process, categorised under "Other community, social and personal services," employed a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The services will be delivered primarily within the United Kingdom, although coverage includes other regions like Europe and British Overseas Territories. The awarded contract holds a value of £725,000.

This tender provides significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in compliance and professional services within the education sector. Organisations experienced in handling large-scale DBS checks or similar services are well-positioned to compete for this type of contract. Although this specific contract has already been awarded, similar future opportunities may appeal to SMEs and larger entities looking to expand their footprint in educational support services. The strategic, long-term nature of such contracts can be highly beneficial to business growth by providing a stable revenue stream from government contracts.

## Notice

Using the G Cloud 14 Agreement the University of Worcester is seeking to appoint an approved supplier to undertake disclosure and barring services (DBS), for both students and staff at various points throughout the academic year. The University of Worcester has a range of courses available including but not limited to Health and Education where students will be required to hold a valid enhanced DBS. The University of Worcester is not a registered body for the purpose of carrying out DBS checks, and is looking for this to be managed by a designated Umbrella Body.
