Brief Description of Requirement
UKSBS, on behalf of their clients, seeks to procure a supplier that can successfully, confidentially and legally, in accordance with all relevant legislation, provide a baseline security screening service and carry out pre-employment and pre-engagement of candidate checks.
What is employee screening?
Pre-employment screening is the background check undertaken for staff, contractors, agency personnel and other people with access to the organisation's assets. Typically, this means that checks are conducted to validate and verify information provided by the screening candidate to ensure that they have provided an honest and factual representation to enable organisations to make the best hiring decisions.

• compliance with UKSBS' KPIs, UK laws, policy, legislation (UK Data Protection Act 2018), and government standards,
• conformity to the BPSS and SLAs indicated,
• relevant and required branding,
• facility to support candidates during the screening process,
• maintenance of GDPR compliance and classifications, and;
• provision of reporting, reminders and communication.
