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)

Once you receive verbal offer, the chance of rescind is low, unless you have financial embarrassment, criminal records or major problems in your past employment (all of which you already know).
One idea is you can contact the private company and indicate you require 2 weeks consideration
