Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) procured a Delivery Support Officer through a personnel supply service. The requirement is for temporary staffing support associated with delivery activities, with the work delivered in England. The buying organisation is Ofsted, based in Manchester. The procurement is categorised as services and covers the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by a specialist recruitment or temporary staffing business with the ability to provide an appropriately capable delivery support officer.

The procurement has been awarded. Ofsted selected Val Wade Recruitment Ltd on 23 July 2026. The initial awarded value is £24,802.73 including VAT, with an initial contract period from 29 July 2026 to 18 December 2026. The procurement’s maximum value is £55,760.63 including VAT, allowing an extension of up to six months, to 18 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 5pm. This was a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement. The award is active and the contract is scheduled to run from 29 July 2026 to 18 December 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Ofsted for temporary personnel able to provide delivery support. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would include recruitment agencies and workforce providers experienced in sourcing, screening and supplying staff for public sector delivery roles. Credibility would depend on identifying a suitable officer, managing the placement effectively and meeting the buyer’s operational requirements throughout the engagement. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be handled by a smaller specialist provider rather than only a large national staffing business. Suppliers should also understand framework call-off routes and be able to respond efficiently to selective public sector competitions.
