Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Learning procured temporary supply teaching and education recruitment services for staffing requirements across its 22 schools. The requirement covers short-term and long-term supply teachers, together with candidate sourcing, recruitment, vetting, safeguarding and regulatory compliance checks, and placement management. The purpose is to maintain continuity of teaching and learning when permanent staff are unavailable, while supporting workforce flexibility and statutory safeguarding compliance. This is a public-sector education staffing service delivered across England. The procurement category is services, with recruitment services as the associated classification. The buying organisation is Anglian Learning, based in Cambridge, and the requirement concerns suppliers able to support a multi-school academy trust rather than a single school.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Anglian Learning made a non-competitive direct award under Lot 2, Supply Teachers, of the Government Commercial Agency Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. Teaching Personnel Limited was selected on 15 June 2026, following a standstill period ending on 25 June 2026. The award and contract value is £4.5 million excluding VAT, or £5.4 million including VAT. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 15 July 2026 to 30 June 2029, with a possible extension to 30 June 2030. Renewal is subject to service review and the availability of suitable lower-cost alternatives. The award was above the relevant threshold.

This award shows demand for a large-scale education staffing partner able to serve 22 schools across England through a framework route. A credible competitor would need an established supply of qualified teachers for both short-term cover and longer-term placements, alongside reliable candidate sourcing and placement management. Strong operational controls are important: the agreed service measures require complete vetting and safeguarding compliance and a 90% fill rate. The buyer also expects measurable financial benefit, including a targeted 10% saving in the first year. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate capacity, robust safeguarding and compliance processes, consistent fulfilment performance, and evidence that their recruitment model can deliver value across a multi-school trust.
