This procurement falls within the financial and insurance services category and is set in the United Kingdom. Currently in the tender stage, the deadline for submissions is 19 April 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 8 May 2017 and will last for one year, concluding on 7 May 2018. Interested businesses must be registered on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite and have a valid DUNS number to participate. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in financial assessment and consultancy services to expand their operations. With the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) transitioning Basic Disclosure checks to its authority, there is an increased demand for providers who can deliver comprehensive credit risk assessment reports. Companies engaged in financial services, risk assessment, and reporting will find a particularly suitable fit for this procurement, which aims to enhance the DBS's operational capabilities across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. ## Notice The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is undergoing a significant change. The responsibility for delivering Basic Disclosure checks for England, Wales and Northern Ireland is being transferred to DBS in September 2017. Therefore DBS will require the registration of Responsible Organisations (RO) that will support the delivery of the Basics service. As part of the eligibility within the registration process, a business credit risk assessment report will need to be carried out for each RO to enable the Authority to approve a payment on account and complete the registration process. The successful supplier will be required to provide these reports to DBS.
