CCHR16A60 - Job Evaluation Services

The purpose of the requirement is to evaluate the job roles identified as required through a large scale restructure and organisational design project. Following a merger between the Criminal Records Bureau and the Independent Safeguarding Authority, the Disclosure and Barring service was formed. It is a non-departmental public body based across two sites – Liverpool and Darlington. The DBS is responsible for checks on staff in all sectors (public, private and voluntary) to ensure that they are safe to work with vulnerable people in society. There is an ongoing requirement to have a number of new and existing job roles evaluated throughout business. At present the numbers involved are predicted to be in the region of 20 to 30 over the forthcoming 12 to 18 months due to planned Target Operating Model (TOM). These numbers may change, dependent on any large-scale restructure and organisational design project. Whilst internal DBS staff are trained in the evaluation process due to other priorities and volume the work cannot be undertaken in-house. The provider should be familiar with the evaluation process used throughout the Civil Service (job evaluation and grading system – JEGs). The expectation is that an end to end evaluation of a single post should take no more than 22 working days. Any delays should be identified at the outset and an alternative end date provided. There will also be the requirement to provide a HR nominated individual (intelligent customer) with a timetable of activities at the start of each evaluation and provide updates where the deadline is unlikely to be met. HR will be available for advice should the Provider have any queries/issues throughout the evaluation process. There may be the requirement for more than one post to be evaluated at the same time. The Provider will need to liaise with HR if there is the potential that they will not be able to deliver as per the service level agreement.

Additional information: How to apply Instructions to Potential Providers:

Potential Providers must first be registered on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite in order to respond to the Procurement.

Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering, who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so at the Invitation to Tender stage. Potential Providers should note that it could take up to 10 working days to obtain a DUNS number. Full instructions for registration and use of the system can be found at: http://gps.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/i-am-supplier/respond-tender

Once you have registered on the e-Sourcing Suite, you will need to express your interest by emailing [email protected] before the closing date.

Your email must clearly state: - name/reference of this procurement - the name of the registered supplier; and - the name and contact details

Crown Commercial Service will then process your registration and assign your organisation to the opportunity. The registered user will receive a notification email to alert them once this has been done.

It is advised however that Potential Providers register as soon as practically possible in order to receive the Invitation to Tender and have a sufficient amount of time to respond. Crown Commercial Service is not able to offer any extensions to the advertised procurement timetable.
