Description

Defence Business Services (DBS) United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) was formed on 1 January 2017 and provides National security Vetting on behalf of Government, with MOD as its parent organisation.
UKSV now manages the contract that provides credit checks on behalf of Government. The contract is to provide credit/financial data to UKSV for the purpose of National Security Vetting checks primarily via an automated interface into the current vetting system, National Security Vetting Solution (NSVS). The contract must also allow for Other Government Departments to access the service via the internet.
UKSV is the largest user of this contract with more than 160,000 checks per annum*. Other Government Departments are expected to complete approximately 25,000 checks per annum.
The contract will be placed for an initial period of two years, with further one plus one year options (2+1+1). The contract will also require quarterly requirement review points to allow for changes to be implemented as the approach to vetting evolves. It should be noted that the current vetting solution is planned for replacement during the lifetime of the CWC Contract. The successful supplier will,be required to re-engineer connection to that system once the technical specification is defined.
A PQQ will be issued after the deadline of 10:00am 5 January 2018 to companies who express an interest in the requirement.
*Based on current usage. This is subkect to change dependent upon demand from UKSV customers.
