Provision of ISO 9001 Accreditation Services for Disclosure and Barring Service

DBS operates an existing contract for the provision of ISO 9001 Accreditation Services.

The contract is due to expire on 11th December 2020 and contains no further options for extension. The Contracting Authority therefore requires the work to be re-tendered with a new contract awarded in advance of the 11th December 2020 expiry date.
