PRJ – 1211 - Provision of a Digital Identity Provider

<p>NHS South East London ICB hosts the recruitment hub which provides end-to-end services for itself and three other ICBs within London. The service currently works remotely, having adapted its processes during and after Covid, which will need to change now that ID/RTW checks are to restart face-to-face or be undertaken by an approved digital provider.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The recruitment hub, hosted by NHS South East London and on behalf of the four ICBs is looking to commission a provider to work with us to help implement a digital solution for the Right to Work, Identify and DBS checks that are required under the NHS Employment Check standards. As an accredited IDSP, you must be able to provide a digital solution to support the following checks: • Right to Work check to prove compliance and support the Statutory Excuse and be able to check UK &amp; Irish passports and eVisas (through share code applications) - to the same level as that required for a DBS check. • ID check to support compliance and fraud protection, with the capability to use biometric facial recognition match and liveness detection to give additional protection against identity theft and fraud. This should be to the same level as required for a DBS check. • DBS check – to provide one or both of the following options: a) Provide the ID/RTW check to the standard required by DBS for us to request a check through our own provider or b) Provide the ID/RTW check and undertake the DBS check. Right to Work support guidance can be subject to change, we need a provider who is able to provide advice, stays on top of legislative changes and can be on hand to help if we need human assistance.</p>
