My current employer holds SC & i have given their details to the prospenctive client for SC transfer. I told them not to contact for SC transfer until I inform current employer about my plans. Before SC transfer I have to complete BPSS hurdle. SC transfer is not an issue i believe, hope current employer will not deny SC transfer even though it seems to have costed them around £7000..!

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI presume your SC is held by your previous client now which means if you are not using it on this role it is ticking down on it's year before expiry. Have you approached your new client about transfering it to them even though you don't need it? They would be doing you a favour if they don't have to do it but worth a punt? That would restart the clock as your current client will technically hold i? Would be a shame to lose it as roles will always consider a current SC over a renewal.

Let me know outcome once you get info back from client/agency (since your case is similar to mine) also time taken for completion of BPSS.
I got SC cleared only few months back & BPSS submitted to agency for an MoD project, waiting for results for 2-3 days now.

Originally posted by digerido View PostI've just gone through BPSS and it took just under 2 weeks from start to finish. As in forms being sent out to me, signing those off, including references, returning them and then for the vetting company to chase the references. In the background my certificate was also transferred. Start Monday
What slightly concerns me is as a contractor the relevant company's HR department will not supply references. Fair enough, but if the colleagues you worked with have also moved on so being unable to supply a reference from a work email that coincides with the companies you have worked at we have to rely on agencies to confirm dates. Etc...
I'm not sure if this could hamper things?

A BPSS or EBS aims to provide an appropriate level of assurance as to the trustworthiness, integrity, and probable reliability of prospective employees and should be applied to:
