Should I reject the private offer first and take the risk/pray that background checks are ok? Or should I join the other organisation first then officially tender when I receive written offer from statboard. (but will it be too harmful on the reputation for quitting few weeks in)

Do you already have a pay indication which you are agreeable to? If there is nothing questionable about your background, then its fairly certain you will get the formal offer.
In that case, I would just decline the private offer.
I usually try to avoid backing out after agreeing as I don't think it reflects well.
