The requirement covers criminal record checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service checks, across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and international locations. It also includes pre-employment reference checks and right to work checks for staff. The work supports the King's Trust's recruitment and safeguarding processes. Services are to be delivered across the United Kingdom, with checks also required internationally, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services contract for suppliers specialising in employment screening, identity and eligibility verification, criminal record checking, or related workforce compliance services. The procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline is 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 31 January 2027 to 30 January 2028. Its estimated value is £65,000, including the stated currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a single procurement rather than separate lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable suppliers. The opportunity concerns personnel and payroll services, alongside information technology and software-related elements. Suppliers should review the tender requirements for the basis on which offers will be assessed and the detailed submission arrangements. This opportunity suits specialist employment-screening and workforce-compliance providers able to process criminal record checks reliably across all UK nations and internationally. Relevant capability includes handling DBS and other criminal record applications, validating pre-employment references, and completing right to work checks for staff. Suppliers should be able to manage sensitive personal information securely, maintain accurate records, and provide dependable turnaround and reporting across varied jurisdictions. The geographic scope favours businesses with established international checking networks or delivery partners, while UK coverage requires familiarity with the different national arrangements for criminal record and right to work verification.
