UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology procured teacher services for its sovereign education benchmark project. The requirement covers the provision of teachers to support education benchmarking, with the awarded service classified as technical and vocational secondary education services. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is a central government department based in London. The procurement was arranged as a single service requirement under one lot, covering the teacher-service provision needed for the project. It is relevant to organisations that can supply and manage teachers for public-sector education activity, particularly providers with the operational reach to coordinate delivery nationally and support benchmarking work involving secondary-level technical and vocational education.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a competitive selective procedure under a framework agreement. Randstad Solutions Ltd was selected on 26 June 2026. The award and signed contract are valued at £750,000 excluding VAT, or £900,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 10 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The process covered one lot and the award relates to the full teacher-services requirement. The published information identifies the procurement as above threshold. The recorded route was an award under framework; the available data does not state a detailed scoring breakdown or separate price and quality weightings.

For a supplier assessing future work from this department, the award demonstrates demand for a managed teacher-services capability supporting a sovereign education benchmarking project. A credible competitor would need to recruit or access suitably qualified teachers, manage a reliable pool of personnel and coordinate their deployment across the United Kingdom. The requirement is service-management led: the supplier’s obligation is to provide and manage the pool rather than own the project’s delivery outcomes. Experience supplying education staff, particularly for technical and vocational secondary education, would be directly relevant. Organisations would also need the systems, capacity and quality controls to manage public-sector delivery at national scale and respond effectively to a framework-based competitive process.
