Security Screening

All consultants/freelancers employed by NxtPort are subject to security screening. The screening involves a comprehensive investigation of a person's background and reliability. This investigation is conducted using various judicial and police databases. The goal is to assess whether a person is reliable to perform a critical function and/or to access sensitive infrastructure. The screening covers numerous sectors, including the port sector.

When submitting a proposal, the Supplier must agree to present only Consultants willing to undergo this security check. The security screening process can take up to 30 days. The Supplier accepts this waiting period and ensures that the candidate remains available during the screening process.

Only the Consultant(s) of the Supplier selected by the Client for this contract will be subject to the security screening. ProUnity will contact the Supplier to request the contact details of the accepted Consultant(s). Upon receipt of this information, the Client's Security Officer (as administrative authority) will forward the individual request for security screening to the competent Federal Police, who will draw up a security opinion based on the security screening.

A negative security opinion will be communicated to the concerned Consultant by the Client's Security Officer (as administrative authority). This notification will state the reasons justifying this decision, with the exception of information whose disclosure could harm the fundamental interests of Belgium or the State. The notification will also contain information on the possibility of appealing this decision.

If there is no positive security result (for example, when no opinion can be given) from the Federal Police, the vacancy will be terminated without contracting.

If the positive security opinion is lost during the term of the contract, the contract will be terminated without any compensation.
