Summary and scope
We are seeking a supplier to provide international criminal history checking and overseas police vetting services for teacher registration applicants who have lived outside New Zealand. The service must obtain or verify criminal history information directly with the relevant issuing authority, helping to strengthen child safeguarding and support registration decision-making. We are interested in hearing from organisations that can provide broad international coverage, strong verification-at-source capability, a secure online applicant experience, and timely delivery of completed checks and reports. The solution should provide visibility of request status and support applicants located both in New Zealand and overseas. The current planning assumption is approximately 4,000 checks per annum. Respondents should demonstrate their ability to manage varying volumes while maintaining service quality and turnaround times.
