Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Diocese of Coventry Multi Academy Trust pertains to the 'Diocese of Coventry Master Vendor Supply'. It involves providing the Trust with recruitment services, focusing on supply teachers and educational support. The procurement, utilizing an open procedure, culminated in July 2026, with Teaching Personnel Limited being awarded the contract. The procurement falls under services, with a contract value of GBP 5,000,000, including provisions for extension up to 2031. The procurement location is centered in the United Kingdom, specifically addressing the needs at their Bulkington locality, with the Master Vendor managing the staff supply chain through an organized network, to be fully operational by September 2026.
