## Summary

Preston College procured human resources support services for processing Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and verifying identity. The checks apply to the college’s staff and to students attending work placements, supporting the college’s safeguarding and workforce screening requirements. This is a services contract managed by Preston College in Fulwood, Preston, with delivery associated with the college’s operations in the United Kingdom and other stated locations. The requirement is classified under CPV 79414000, human resources management consultancy services. It is relevant to providers of DBS checking, identity verification, employment screening or closely related HR compliance services, particularly those able to handle checks for both employees and students in an education setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was £80,000 including the stated currency, while the contract was awarded to Verifile Limited for £73,800. The award date was 14 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Verifile Limited is the sole named awarded supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation resulted in an active award, with the requirement covering the full service rather than separately identified lots. The procurement therefore records a completed competition and a defined two-year service arrangement for Preston College.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a specific education-sector demand for integrated DBS processing and identity verification covering two user groups: college staff and students undertaking work placements. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need reliable end-to-end screening processes, the operational capacity to manage recurring checks, and strong controls for accurate identity validation and sensitive personal information. Experience serving colleges, schools or other organisations with safeguarding obligations would help demonstrate relevance. Providers should also be able to support both employment screening and placement-related checks through a consistent service, with clear handling of cases, secure communications and dependable turnaround arrangements.
