## Summary

The Liverpool City Council recently completed a procurement process for the "Online DBS Checking Service," aimed at providing a comprehensive online service for Disclosure and Barring Service checks. This procurement falls under the "Software package and information systems" category within the goods sector and was conducted using an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 2 June 2021, with an active status and a contract term of three years, inclusive of two one-year extension options. The service is essential for both Liverpool City Council and its partner organisations and requires in-depth functionality, including various types of DBS checks.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for software and service providers, particularly those specialising in cloud-hosted solutions and DBS services. Businesses that offer accreditation, robust identity verification processes, and high-quality customer support will be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Given the social value and quality criteria that influenced the award, companies should focus on demonstrating how they can deliver effective solutions that meet public sector needs while also providing value to their clients.
