Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tyne Coast College procured personnel supply services for temporary and permanent academic and administrative staff. The requirement covers agency staffing to support the college’s education and administrative operations, with delivery associated with the college in South Shields, England. This is a services procurement for personnel, including temporary staff, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The buyer is Tyne Coast College, based on St George’s Avenue, South Shields. The opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies, education-sector staffing providers and workforce suppliers able to source, vet and place both teaching or academic personnel and administrative staff. It may also suit organisations operating across temporary and permanent recruitment, provided they can support the college’s staffing requirements through the framework route used for the contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 25 June 2026 to The Supply Register Ltd. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract value is £3,000,000, and the contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 25 June 2026 at 12:00. Tyne Coast College awarded the contract to The Supply Register Ltd, identified as an SME. The procurement was stated to be suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The evaluation basis is recorded through the selective framework call-off process; the published outcome confirms the selected supplier and awarded value. This is an awarded requirement, not an opportunity for further submissions under this process.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand from Tyne Coast College for an integrated academic and administrative staffing service. A credible future competitor would need proven recruitment capability across both temporary and permanent placements, with access to candidates suitable for academic roles as well as college administration. The requirement favours providers able to manage varied staffing volumes, respond reliably to vacancies and maintain an effective candidate pipeline throughout delivery. Experience supplying education or other public-sector organisations would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, compliance, right-to-work checks, references and placement administration, where required by the buyer’s documents. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a framework call-off, meet public-sector contract management expectations and demonstrate the capacity expected of a large, multi-year staffing arrangement.
