This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on financial market regulatory services. The tender is at the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 10:00 am on 5 January 2018. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1 July 2018 and will last for an initial period of two years, potentially extendable by up to two additional years. The estimated value of the contract is £1,500,000, with delivery addresses across the UK and other territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial services, particularly those that can provide automated credit and financial data systems. Companies with expertise in regulatory support services, auditing, or processing and clearing services are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As the Defence Business Services (DBS) UKSV will necessitate a responsive approach to evolving vetting technologies, businesses capable of adapting to changing requirements and ensuring integration with current systems stand to benefit significantly from this opportunity. ## Notice Defence Business Services (DBS) United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) was formed on 1 January 2017 and provides National security Vetting on behalf of Government, with MOD as its parent organisation. UKSV now manages the contract that provides credit checks on behalf of Government. The contract is to provide credit/financial data to UKSV for the purpose of National Security Vetting checks primarily via an automated interface into the current vetting system, National Security Vetting Solution (NSVS). The contract must also allow for Other Government Departments to access the service via the internet. UKSV is the largest user of this contract with more than 160,000 checks per annum*. Other Government Departments are expected to complete approximately 25,000 checks per annum. The contract will be placed for an initial period of two years, with further one plus one year options (2+1+1). The contract will also require quarterly requirement review points to allow for changes to be implemented as the approach to vetting evolves. It should be noted that the current vetting solution is planned for replacement during the lifetime of the CWC Contract. The successful supplier will,be required to re-engineer connection to that system once the technical specification is defined. A PQQ will be issued after the deadline of 10:00am 5 January 2018 to companies who express an interest in the requirement. *Based on current usage. This is subkect to change dependent upon demand from UKSV customers.
