UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Emmanuel Schools Foundation is buying a managed supply service for teachers and other educational staff across its trust. The requirement covers staffing for primary education, secondary education, youth education and special education services, supporting schools and pupil-facing roles. Delivery spans the North East of England and Yorkshire and the Humber. The service is managed on behalf of the foundation trust, with Crescent Purchasing Limited acting as the procurement consultancy. This is education staffing rather than the direct purchase of teaching materials or school buildings, so relevant businesses are likely to be education recruitment agencies, managed staffing providers and organisations able to supply qualified teaching and support personnel across multiple schools and educational settings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. Teaching Personnel Limited was selected for the single lot. The award date was 2 July 2026, with an awarded value of £2,828,000 including gross value in GBP. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 15 July 2026 to 13 July 2029. The award was above the relevant threshold and the contract is active. The arrangement is subject to the light-touch regime. It covers the full supply-teacher and educational-staff requirement rather than separate specialist lots, and includes a standstill period ending on 14 July 2026.

This procurement shows sustained demand for a managed education staffing service across a multi-school foundation trust. A credible future competitor would need to recruit and deploy qualified teachers, teaching assistants, specialists and curriculum-support staff for both short-term and long-term bookings, including pupil-facing roles. The service model requires strong booking responsiveness, reliable candidate availability and accurate workforce administration through a supplier VMS. Providers would need robust safeguarding and pre-engagement vetting, written confirmation of candidate qualifications, compliant timesheets and accurate invoicing. The buyer also expects regular service reviews, documented operational performance, strong interview-to-offer outcomes for longer-term and permanent roles, and readiness for annual REC, APSCo or equivalent external audits.
