UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transform Trust procured supply agency staff services across its organisation. The requirement covers the provision of temporary or supply staff through an external recruitment and staffing provider, rather than a discrete construction, goods or facilities contract. The buyer is Transform Trust, based in Nottingham, and delivery covered the East Midlands area of the United Kingdom. The procurement was a services opportunity and related to business and recruitment services, including the sourcing and supply of personnel. It was arranged through an existing framework, with one completed lot. This requirement is relevant to recruitment agencies, education staffing providers and workforce suppliers able to support Transform Trust’s staffing needs across its operating area.

The procurement was completed through a selective procedure, using a framework award without reopening competition. Zen Educate Limited was awarded the single lot on 16 July 2026. The award value was £1.7 million excluding VAT, or £2.04 million including VAT. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and covered 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract was terminated on 5 August 2026 because it had been published in error with incorrect details and was to be republished with correct information. Its final value was £0. The process was above the relevant threshold and was evaluated through the framework route rather than a competitive call-off.

This procurement indicates a substantial requirement for agency staffing services from an education-focused public-sector organisation, with demand covering Transform Trust rather than a single establishment. A credible future competitor would need a dependable supply of suitably qualified staff, strong recruitment and vetting processes, and the operational capacity to place personnel across the East Midlands. Experience of supplying schools or other education settings would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, workforce suitability, compliance and short-notice placement requirements. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant public-sector framework route and manage the administration, reporting and service responsiveness expected of a large staffing arrangement. Zen Educate Limited is identified as an SME supplier, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist staffing business.
