In line with the description of services A.1.2., the Desktop Due diligence research means that a due diligence report should be provided on the subject of the assignment without recourse to inquiries on the ground but solely by means available to the tenderer such as publicly available information and databases of commercial providers. This information should include any adverse information (investigations, litigations ,allegations) on the entity, its shareholders or members of its governing bodies, the identification of any PEPs or sanctioned individuals and any other concerns that could result in an integrity/reputational risk for the Bank. The Bank will neither make available any tools nor its internal procedures/policies to the successful tenderers. It is up to the successful tenderer to perform the inquiries on the ground on the basis of its professional experience. Any other assignment (services/initiatives under point xii of A.1.2 section “Due Diligence checks” or point vii of A.1.2 section “Compliance Risk Management” or point vii of A.1.2 section “Compliance policies and procedures”), will be detailed on ad hoc basis. There is no possibility to provide the tenderers with a non-exhaustive list of policies, procedures and templates in the area of compliance for which we will need assistance.
