Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency is procuring recruitment services for temporary and permanent teachers and other education staffing. The arrangement is intended for schools and educational establishments, excluding independent for-profit schools. It covers two service models: a preferred supplier list for teachers and education recruitment, and a managed service that coordinates the supply chain. Services are delivered across the United Kingdom, including the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. The requirement is classified as recruitment services (CPV 79600000). It is a central-government staffing opportunity for recruitment agencies and workforce providers able to supply education personnel at scale, either directly through a supplier list or through a managed recruitment and supply-chain service.

The procurement has been awarded and contracts have been signed. Both lots were awarded on 20 April 2026 and signed on 30 April 2026. Lot 1, Teachers and Education Recruitment, and Lot 2, Managed Service, each have a contract value of £2,000,000,000 excluding VAT and £2,400,000,000 including VAT; figures are stated separately for each lot. Each contract runs from 30 April 2026 to 29 April 2029, with an option to extend to 28 April 2030. The route was an open procedure establishing an open framework, with call-offs awarded with or without reopening competition and up to 170 participants. Lot 1 was evaluated on price (80%), social value (10%) and service delivery (10%). Lot 2 used social value, supply-chain management, service implementation and price, each weighted at 10%, 30%, 30% and 30%.

This framework demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for education staffing across the UK and the Crown Dependencies. Suitable competitors include specialist teacher and education recruitment agencies, broader workforce providers and organisations able to manage a substantial supplier network. The buyer assessed legal and financial capacity alongside technical capability, so bidders need robust finances, compliant operations and evidence that they can deliver recruitment services reliably. Lot 1 favours strong pricing supported by credible service delivery and social value commitments. Lot 2 requires deeper managed-service capability, including supply-chain management and service implementation. The framework is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although suppliers must pay 1% of charges invoiced under call-off contracts.

Planning Information

Market engagement for RM6376 began in December 2024 with premarket engagement for customers, stakeholders, and partners (YPO, ESPO, NEPO). We had 2 market sector sessions (one in person in London, one virtual) with our key industry bodies (REC and APSCo) and their suppliers, and one further virtual supplier session for suppliers interested in potentially bidding for the resulting framework contract. Based on feedback from our pre market engagement, options were then proposed to the market in our second set of market engagement sessions in March 2025 which gave specific insight into the agreement design.Specific feedback was sought on lot structure, permanent provision and temp to perm fees. Crown Commercial Service intends to hold further market engagement sessions In June and July 2025 to present back our finalised ideas to the market. If you are interested in attending a market engagement session please visit https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6376 to regularly review for details of the sessions.
