Summary of the contracting process

Twyford C of E Academies Trust procured an agency staffing panel to provide temporary and other staffing solutions to its schools on an ad hoc and planned basis. The participating schools are 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 requirement is for personnel supply services, including temporary staff (CPV 79620000). The work supports the Trust’s schools across the United Kingdom. The panel can include up to 10 agencies. Suppliers appointed to the GCA RM6376 framework are automatically accepted onto the Trust’s approved supplier list, while other agencies can qualify through this procurement.

The procurement used an above-threshold open procedure. It is complete and has been awarded. Eleven bids were received, with seven reaching the final stage. The sole lot was evaluated on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%; it was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender enquiry deadline was 27 July 2026 and the bid deadline was 3 August 2026. The award was made on 17 August 2026 to Skillz Hub Limited, Qualiteach Education Group Ltd, Vibe Teacher Recruitment Limited, Edex Education Recruitment Ltd, Everest Recruitment and Services Ltd, Nurture Education Ltd and Loyal Blue Recruitment Ltd, at £1,600,356. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 for £1,600,170, running to 31 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to 31 August 2031.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from a multi-school academy trust for agencies able to supply teaching and wider temporary staffing at short notice as well as through planned arrangements. Credible competitors would need an established education recruitment operation, access to suitably qualified and vetted personnel, and the capacity to service several schools across the Trust. The appointed panel shows that the buyer is willing to use multiple agencies rather than a single provider. Agencies seeking similar work would need pricing and contractual terms at least as favourable as those available through the GCA framework, while also demonstrating strong service quality. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were explicitly considered suitable participants.
