Summary of the contracting process

The Twyford C of E Academies Trust is currently in the tender stage for the procurement of services to establish an agency staffing panel. This process aims to source up to 10 agencies that can provide staffing solutions on both a planned and ad-hoc basis to several schools under the Trust, located in Acton, United Kingdom. These include Twyford Church of England High School, William Perkin Church of England High School, Ada Lovelace Church of England High School, and Ealing Fields Church of England High School. The procurement, classified under the industry category of personnel supply services, is open to applications until 3rd August 2026. The total contract value is estimated at £1.92 million with the intention of appointing agencies that offer competitive pricing and contractual terms comparable to those on the GCA framework.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for staffing agencies, especially those specialising in educational sectors, to expand their business by partnering with a reputable educational trust. Agencies offering competitive prices and high-quality services are encouraged to apply, and those already part of the GCA RM6376 framework have direct access to participate. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the tender's suitability criteria. Successful participants will benefit from engagement over a potential four-year contract period with extensions available, fostering a long-term relationship with the Trust and providing a stable revenue stream.
