UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust, based in Harrogate, procured supply agency staff across the trust. This is a temporary staffing and education recruitment service, covering the provision of agency personnel to support the trust’s schools. The requirement is classified as a service under CPV 79000000, which covers recruitment and related business services. The delivery country is the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than separate published service categories, with the selected providers supplying the agency staffing service under the trust-wide arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement; competition for this call-off was not reopened. Four active awards were made on 16 July 2026 for the same contract period, from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Teaching Personnel Limited received £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 gross); Vision for Education received £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 gross); Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited received £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 gross); and Zen Educate Limited received £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 gross). The planned contract signature date was 31 July 2026. The single lot was completed, and the procurement was above the relevant threshold overall, with the first award recorded as above threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from a multi-school education trust for agency staffing delivered through a framework route. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be education recruitment agencies or specialist staffing providers able to source, vet and place temporary personnel across multiple schools. Credibility would come from a reliable candidate network, responsive fulfilment, effective safeguarding and compliance checks, and the operational capacity to manage recurring school staffing needs. The award of contracts to both large businesses and SMEs shows that the requirement can be served by providers of different sizes, provided they can deliver consistently across the trust and meet public-sector recruitment standards. Experience supplying schools and managing agency workers would be directly relevant.
