Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process involves the hiring of three Delivery Support Officers for London and the South East DST by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills, also known as Ofsted. This contract, identified as CON 1636, falls under the industry category of supply services of personnel, specifically temporary staff. Val Wade Recruitment was selected as the supplier through a selective procurement method, using a call-off from a framework agreement with a total contract value of £80,441.72 following an extension in May 2026. The contract period runs from 23 March 2026 to 31 July 2026, with potential placement locations in London and the South East of the United Kingdom. As of the latest update on 3 June 2026, the process has reached the award update stage.

This tender represents an opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises specialising in recruitment and staffing services, particularly those with expertise in educational and governmental staffing solutions, to engage with a prominent public-sector organisation like Ofsted. Businesses with established networks in the London and South East regions, along with those experienced in providing temporary and contract staff via framework agreements, would find this procurement process particularly suitable. The call-off method used indicates an ongoing relationship between the buyer and supplier, which could lead to further collaboration and growth opportunities within the public sector.
