This tender falls within the administration, defence and social security services category, and aims to enhance the organisation's recruitment capabilities with a focus on DBS checking, including potential expansions into identity and referencing checks. The tender is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 5th May 2017. Successful bidders will support Midland Heart in managing approximately 770 DBS checks annually across East and West Midlands, starting from a contract period commencing on 1st July 2017 and ending on 30th June 2020. This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in recruitment and background verification services. Businesses with proven experience in efficient online DBS checking systems, data management, and candidate tracking will be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, companies that can demonstrate excellent client relationships and adaptability in response to legislative changes will have a competitive edge in this tender process. ## Notice Midland Heart is looking to appoint a supplier who can provide a range of call off recruitment services primarily DBS checking, but with the future potential for identity checking, right to work and referencing checks as a future consideration. Our spend on DBS checking across all checks was PS42,000 for the year ending 2016. In addition to 320 DBS checks for new starters we also undertake approximately 450 DBS renewals per year as part of a three-year cyclical check for existing colleagues. As a minimum we are looking for * Full online DBS checking capability across the range of checks available for up to 10 colleagues to access and use * Speed of checking turnaround whilst ensuring accuracy and safeguarding * Evidence of efficient turnaround of applications and results (aside from the time checks take with the DBS public body). * Evidence of progression and chasing outstanding applications with the DBS body * Excellent proven candidate and client experience * Ensuring Midland Heart is aware of changing legislation / checking procedures * Provide robust challenge on the roles being requested for checking by Midland Heart colleagues * Ideas of how best to manage the cyclical renewals process ensuring resilience and lean processes * Excellent data management and DPA resilient online systems and processes for the client and supplier. * Excellent KPI and tracking data on checks undertaken and outstanding * Excellent management information reporting of key trends * Evidence of partnership working with clients * Ability to integrate with existing HR database (ResourceLink) and or third party recruitment software where possible * Capacity and capability to extend beyond just DBS checking into other areas of candidate checks such as identity, referencing and right to work. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1df3f1c1-0bd1-458a-ad8d-0934b46b0fdd | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 5 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2017 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £42,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MIDLAND HEART HOUSING LTD | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B15 1LZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75000000 - Administration, defence and social security services ## Release History - 3 Apr 2017 at 12:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1df3f1c1-0bd1-458a-ad8d-0934b46b0fdd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1df3f1c1-0bd1-458a-ad8d-0934b46b0fdd 3rd April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.midlandheart.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
