UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Together Learning Trust procured supply agency staff services across its schools and other Trust operations. The requirement is for recruitment and provision of temporary or supply staff, covering the Trust’s staffing needs rather than a single specialist service. It is classified as business services, including recruitment. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Together Learning Trust, a public authority based in Elland, West Yorkshire. The procurement was arranged as one service lot and is relevant to education-sector recruitment agencies, temporary staffing providers and organisations able to supply suitably qualified staff across multiple Trust locations. Suppliers would need to understand education staffing requirements and coordinate placements, availability and compliance across the Trust’s operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a framework through a selective procedure. It was not a competitive call-off. The single lot was awarded on 15 June 2026 to Vision for Education and Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited. The award and contract value is £1,925,000 excluding VAT, or £2,310,000 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 8 July 2026 to 1 May 2030; the signed contract began on 16 July 2026 and ends on 1 May 2030. The maximum extension date is 1 May 2034. Renewal is available only if the framework successfully reopens in each of its first four years. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and is active.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Together Learning Trust for an education-focused supply staffing service delivered across multiple locations. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would be recruitment agencies with established education-sector networks, a reliable pool of temporary and supply staff, and the operational capacity to manage placements at Trust scale. Credible competitors would need to source, vet and deploy staff quickly while maintaining accurate records, safeguarding compliance and appropriate checks for work in schools. Experience supporting schools or multi-site education groups would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage fluctuating staffing requirements, coordinate with schools and maintain service continuity. Both an SME specialist education recruiter and a large national recruitment business were selected, indicating that market credibility can come from specialist expertise or broader staffing capacity.
