In plain English

Imperial War Museums is looking for a company to run a secure online system that handles background checks (DBS checks) for their staff and volunteers. The system needs to let IWM set up checks, let candidates upload documents, verify identity, check right to work status, and handle international background checks where needed. This is a three-year contract with an optional one-year extension.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a secure online platform where IWM can start, manage and track DBS background checks • Support both basic and enhanced background check levels, with candidate registration, document upload, identity verification and right-to-work checks built in • Arrange identity verification, handle international background checks via third-party partners, and manage secure storage, retention and deletion of all candidate data • Produce reports for IWM and ensure candidates get clear, easy-to-follow instructions for submitting their information

Requirements

Named in the buyer's notice:

What could rule a small business out: This contract is for a specialized DBS and identity verification service provider: if you are not already accredited to carry out DBS checks or do not have experience running secure screening platforms with identity verification and right-to-work checking, you will not be able to bid.
