    Brief

    The Authority is seeking a reliable supplier to provide Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checking services to support recruitment and ongoing safeguarding compliance. Approximately 200 DBS checks are required annually, comprising around 50 Standard disclosures (25%) and 150 Enhanced disclosures (75%). These checks are statutory requirements for employees in regulated or higher-risk roles to ensure appropriate vetting and workforce compliance. The successful supplier must deliver a cost-effective, dependable service that maintains continuity and meets all safeguarding obligations. Following competitive evaluation, Essex County Council has been selected as the most economically advantageous supplier based on pricing and compliance with market standards.
