Security Screening

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

When submitting the proposal, the Supplier must agree to propose 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 will contact the accepted Consultant(s) and ask them to complete the forms giving their explicit consent for the security screening to be carried out.

The Client's Security Officer (as administrative authority) forwards the individual request for security screening to the competent Federal Police, who draw up a security opinion based on the security screening. A negative security opinion is communicated to the concerned Consultant by the Client's Security Officer (as administrative authority). This notification states the reasons justifying this decision, with the exception of information whose disclosure could harm the fundamental interests of Belgium or the State. The notification also contains information on the possibility of appealing against 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.

The candidate has their consent to provide security verification critical functions via Cel Maritiem Beveiliging (at the request of NxtPort) for the position in question.
