Questions asked by suppliers
- 1. Is this role expected to be inside ir35?
- As a DOS4 supplier, you have already stated that you work outside of IR35 under the framework agreement. We currently believe that this role would fall outside of IR35 but an ESI assessment has yet to be performed. Should the outcome of such an assessment not be in line with supplier expectations then there is no obligation on the part of the supplier to accept the role if it is offered to them.
- 2. Can the Authority confirm if they are working with an incumbent supplier ?
- There is no incumbent supplier for this role.
- 3. Is it SC clearance required or is it a special clearance for the Parliament?
- Parliament performs its own security clearance.
- 4. Is the advertised day rate inclusive of VAT
- The day rate is exclusive of VAT.
- 5. What are the criterias for the Security Clearance required for this role?
- Parliamentary Security Clearance is required. This follows from BPSS clearance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-baseline-personnel-security-standard) which is conducted by the bidder.
