## About this tender

OS are required to ensure all new hires are subject to BPSS pre-employment standards. This includes criminal record checking (DBS) which we are unable to conduct directly. As such we are looking to engage with a third party to carry out the checks on our behalf as part of our onboarding/pre-employment stages. It is important that the process is seamless and provides a positive experience for OS and the candidate, fundamentally ensuring we are able to employ the candidate within the timescales.
