Summary of the contracting process

Trinity Multi Academy Trust procured supply teachers and education recruitment services for its schools. The requirement covers recruitment services, including the provision of temporary teaching staff, and is classified under CPV 79600000. Delivery is across Yorkshire and the Humber, supporting the Trust’s education operations in that area. This is a services procurement for an academy trust, with the buying organisation based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. The selected supplier is an education recruitment business, indicating that the requirement is relevant to agencies able to source and supply teachers and manage associated education staffing needs across the region.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 July 2026 to Stafflex Limited for £50,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It used a selective call-off from the Value Match Managed Sourcing Service framework as an alternative compliant route to market. The rates were set not to exceed those available through the GCA RM6376 framework. The tender submission deadline was 17 July 2026 at 9:00am. The award was made to a single supplier, and the procurement was evaluated and concluded through the framework call-off route rather than an open tender.

This award is commercially relevant to recruitment agencies specialising in education staffing, particularly suppliers able to provide qualified supply teachers and manage placements for a multi-academy trust. Stafflex Limited, identified as an SME, demonstrates that a smaller specialist provider can meet this type of requirement. A credible competitor would need access to a dependable pool of teaching staff, effective vetting and compliance processes, responsive placement management and the capacity to support schools across Yorkshire and the Humber. Experience of framework call-offs and compliant public-sector sourcing would strengthen a future proposition. The Trust also identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, broadening the potential supplier profile.
