London South Bank University
London South Bank University (LSBU) used the Employee Screening Services framework to improve compliance within their recruitment and vetting functions.
Quick and easy tender process
We were able to advise LSBU of our market-leading framework agreement for Employee Screening Services providing members access to a comprehensive solution designed to cover all background screening service requirements. The framework is recommended by the Department for Education (DfE) and provides access to services at excellent rates without the need to complete a resource-heavy tender process.
Access to fully vetted suppliers
Using the framework enabled the University to access four fully vetted suppliers offering national availability and provision. Satisfied that all desired benefits would be achieved, LSBU awarded the contract to Verifile who provide a UK-based service offering that enables the background screening of students or staff from every corner of the globe.
Cost effective solution
Getting a great commercial deal was a key consideration for LSBU. Using the framework gave the University access to services at excellent rates. The University have now achieved cost savings both commercially and practically in terms of the team’s resources and time thanks to the automated, paperless screening solution provided by the supplier.
Working in Partnership
The HR teams at LSBU now have a fully trusted screening partner who is by their side providing guidance, on-site support and practical assistance whenever they need it.
Overall experience
London South Bank University had a very positive experience using the Employee Screening Services framework and now have a paperless and fully compliant screening process solution that all departments can follow.
“Verifile came onsite and supported the team and the students through the process. The Verifile team went to great lengths to ensure that the transition was a complete success.”
