Modern Slavery Statement

A) ORGANISATION

This statement applies to Database Services Provider Global Ltd, trading as DSP. (referred to in this statement as ‘the Organisation’)

The information included in the statement refers to the financial year 2025 / 2026.

DSP group also comprises of Premiertec Consulting Limited, trading as Claremont, Eclipsys Solutions Inc., trading as Eclipsys and Database Service Provider India Private Limited.

Eclipsys is a company incorporated and operating in Canada. During the reporting period, Eclipsys operated with a level of operational independence from the Organisation’s core UK governance and compliance framework.

Database Service Provider India Private Limited is a company incorporated in India for servicing UK and Canada projects. During the reporting period, Database Service Provider India Private Limited did not operate, hence is not in scope.

The Organisation provides managed IT services, consultancy services, project delivery services, hosting solutions and operational support services to customers primarily within the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Organisation is governed by a Board of Directors.

The Organisation operates from offices located in London, Derby and Leeds within the United Kingdom. A significant proportion of the Organisation’s services are delivered remotely by employees, consultants and approved third-party resources working from home locations, Organisation offices, customer sites, or through approved suppliers and partners operating within the UK and internationally.

The Organisation recognises that certain group entities, suppliers and affiliated delivery partners may support or contribute to wider group operations, service delivery activities, or supply chains associated with services provided to UK customers. Hence although this statement primarily relates to the activities of Database Services Provider Global Ltd and its UK operations, the Organisation recognises the importance of maintaining consistent ethical, labour and human rights standards across the wider group and supply chain.

The Organisation is committed to continuing to review and enhance group-wide governance arrangements, including the progressive extension of relevant modern slavery, supplier governance and due diligence controls across affiliated entities over time.

B) SUPPLY CHAINS

In order to fulfil its activities, the Organisation’s principal supply chains include suppliers associated with:

    • IT consultancy and technical resources;
    • Recruitment and staffing services;
    • Managed service and hosting providers;
    • Cloud and infrastructure service providers;
    • Professional services and operational support services;
    • Approved subcontractors and consultancy partners.

The Organisation engages suppliers and consultants primarily within the United Kingdom and in the future may also engage resources or delivery support arrangements internationally, including through approved partners, suppliers and affiliated entities operating from locations such as India and Canada.

Where resources are not directly engaged by the Organisation, supply arrangements may involve intermediary suppliers, recruitment agencies or subcontracting arrangements, resulting in additional lower-tier supplier relationships within the wider supply chain.

The Organisation recognises that modern slavery risks may arise both through direct operations and through wider supply chain, subcontracting and outsourced service arrangements.

The Organisation engages suppliers and service providers that support the delivery of technical consultancy, recruitment, staffing, hosting, cloud and operational support services.

C) DEFINITIONS

The Organisation considers that modern slavery encompasses:

  • Human trafficking;
  • Forced work, through mental or physical threat;
  • Being controlled by an employer or third party through physical, psychological, financial or other forms of coercion;
  • Exploitation of workers through abuse, threats, intimidation or restriction of freedoms;
  • Dehumanisation, treatment of individuals as commodities, or practices associated with ownership or servitude;
  • Restriction of freedom of movement or unlawful withholding of identity or employment documentation.

D) POLICIES AND COMMITMENT RELATING TO SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

The Organisation acknowledges its responsibilities in relation to tackling modern slavery and commits to complying with the provisions in the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Organisation understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and, additionally, its supply chains.

The Organisation seeks to conduct business only with organisations and partners that share its commitment to ethical working practices and lawful labour standards. The Organisation does not knowingly enter into business relationships with organisations involved in slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking.

No labour provided to the Organisation in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking. The Organisation complies with applicable employment legislation and seeks to maintain appropriate standards relating to recruitment, employment practices, worker welfare and supplier governance.

The Organisation maintains policies, governance standards and supplier management processes intended to support ethical business practices, lawful employment standards, responsible sourcing and supplier oversight, including:

    • Third Party Management Policy;
    • Supplier onboarding and due diligence processes;
    • Supplier contractual governance requirements;
    • Information security and compliance governance processes;
    • Internal escalation and reporting mechanisms for concerns relating to unethical conduct.

The Organisation continues to review and enhance relevant governance arrangements as part of its broader compliance, risk management and supplier assurance programme.

E) DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES

The Organisation undertakes due diligence activities intended to reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking within its operations and supply chains.

These activities include:

    • Supplier onboarding and review processes;
    • Use of supplier questionnaires intended to identify potential compliance, ethical and operational risks;
    • Review of supplier contractual arrangements and governance controls;
    • Assessment of supplier relationships as part of procurement and supplier management activities;
    • Internal review and escalation of concerns relating to unethical conduct or supplier risk.

The Organisation also undertakes broader governance and compliance activities intended to support visibility and oversight of supplier relationships and operational delivery arrangements.

The Organisation recognises that supply chain governance and visibility remain areas of ongoing development and continues to enhance its due diligence and supplier assurance activities over time.

The Organisation is not aware of any incidents of modern slavery within its business operations during the reporting period and has not knowingly conducted business with organisations identified as engaging in modern slavery practices.

F) RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Due to the nature of the Organisation’s activities, the Organisation considers the inherent risk of modern slavery within its directly employed workforce to be relatively limited. However, the Organisation recognises that risks may arise within broader supply chains, subcontracting arrangements, recruitment practices and outsourced service models, including within the technology and professional services sectors.

Due to the nature of the Organisation’s activities, the Organisation considers the inherent risk of modern slavery within its directly employed workforce to be relatively limited. However, the Organisation recognises that risks may arise within broader supply chains, subcontracting arrangements, recruitment practices and outsourced service models, including within the technology and professional services sectors.

The Organisation considers areas of increased potential exposure to include:

    • Use of third-party recruitment and staffing providers;
    • Multi-tier supplier arrangements;
    • Outsourced or subcontracted service delivery;
    • International resourcing and offshore support arrangements;
    • Limited visibility into lower-tier supplier labour practices.

The Organisation recognises that modern slavery risks may increase where there are complex subcontracting chains, outsourced operational models, or limited visibility into downstream supplier practices.

To assess and manage these risks, the Organisation has due diligence steps as described above.

G) EFFECTIVENESS AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

  • The Organisation monitors the effectiveness of its modern slavery governance activities through a number of measures and performance indicators, including:
  • No medium or high risks identified through periodic review of modern slavery related controls and supplier governance activities;
  • No medium or high modern slavery risks identified during onboarding or review of new suppliers during the financial year;
  • Completion of supplier governance and due diligence reviews where applicable;
  • Ongoing review and update of supplier governance documentation and contractual controls;
  • Escalation and review of any concerns relating to unethical conduct or supplier risk where identified.
  • The Organisation continues to review the effectiveness and maturity of its governance and supplier assurance processes over time.

H) TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING

The Organisation provides induction and awareness training to employees as appropriate to support understanding of ethical conduct, compliance obligations and responsible business practices, including awareness relating to modern slavery risks.

The Organisation recognises the importance of ensuring that relevant employees involved in procurement, supplier management, recruitment and governance activities maintain appropriate awareness of modern slavery risks, escalation requirements and responsible supplier management practices.

The Organisation intends to continue developing awareness, governance maturity and supplier oversight capabilities as part of its broader compliance and risk management programme.

I) MODERN SLAVERY GOVERNANCE

The Organisation maintains responsibility for oversight of modern slavery related matters within its compliance and governance functions. Concerns relating to modern slavery, unethical labour practices or supplier conduct may be raised through appropriate management, compliance or reporting channels and will be reviewed and escalated where appropriate.

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and will be reviewed annually.
