• Place of employment: Havenhuis. If travel is required, this will be arranged according to the agreement in the assignment letter
• Security screening:
  All consultants/freelancers who will be employed at NxtPort are subject to a Security screening. The screening consists of a comprehensive investigation into the background and reliability of a person. This investigation is conducted by consulting various judicial and police databases. The purpose is to assess whether a person is trustworthy to perform a critical function and/or to gain access to sensitive infrastructure. The screening applies to numerous sectors, including the port sector.

When submitting the proposal, the Supplier must agree to propose only Consultants who are willing to undergo this security investigation.

The security investigation 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 who are selected by the Client for this contract will be subject to the security investigation.

The Security Officer of the Client (as administrative authority) submits the individual request for a security investigation to the competent Federal Police, who prepare a security advice based on the investigation.

A negative security advice will be communicated to the involved Consultant via the Security Officer of the Client (as administrative authority). This notification states the reasons justifying this decision, except for information whose disclosure could harm the fundamental interests of Belgium or the State. The notification also contains information about the possibility to appeal this decision.

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

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