Brief

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is seeking to appoint an external provider to deliver Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) checks as part of its safer recruitment process. The successful provider will manage the complete DBS application process, including verifying applicant identities, submitting disclosure applications, receiving and processing results, and maintaining compliance with relevant safeguarding regulations. This service is essential for ensuring that all candidates working with vulnerable populations meet the required background check standards. Providers should have established DBS infrastructure, experience in bulk processing, knowledge of current safeguarding legislation, and the ability to meet Council timescales for candidate clearance.
