Summary of the contracting process

This procurement pertains to the award stage of a contract for recruitment services in the education sector. The purchasing entity, Trinity Multi Academy Trust, based in Halifax, England, has finalised a call-off under the Value Match Managed Sourcing Service framework. The notification, dated 27th July 2026, involves the provision of 'Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment' within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement was conducted through a selective method linked to framework agreements, specifically avoiding exceeding the rates of the GCA RM6376 framework. The contract covers a period from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027, with a total value of £50,000.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses operating within the recruitment sector, particularly those focusing on educational staffing solutions. The nature of the procurement—sourcing supply teachers through a managed service framework—suits Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), as well as Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), that are adept at engaging with framework agreements. Companies like Stafflex Limited, already part of the SME community, stand as an example of the type of supplier that successfully competed for this opportunity. With the education sector's continuous demand for recruitment services, this contract signifies a valuable avenue for similar businesses looking to expand their portfolio and engage in long-term service provisions to educational institutions.
