UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kent Catholic Schools' Partnership is procuring managed supply agency services across all of its schools. The requirement is for an agency-managed supply workforce, covering the recruitment and provision of temporary teaching and other education personnel as needed by participating schools. The buyer is Kent Catholic Schools' Partnership, based in Maidstone. Delivery is across the partnership's schools. This is a services procurement, with the classification also covering recruitment and related business support services. The opportunity is relevant to education staffing agencies, managed service providers and organisations able to coordinate agency supply across multiple schools under a central arrangement. It is focused on workforce supply management rather than the delivery of teaching, curriculum or school facilities services.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. It used a selective procedure, with the contract awarded under a framework and without a competitive call-off. There was one lot. Teaching Personnel Limited was selected on 15 July 2026. The awarded value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. A future signature date of 15 August 2026 was scheduled, and the standstill period ends on 31 July 2026. The award is above the relevant threshold. The published outcome records the supplier and value, but does not set out detailed award criteria or a scoring basis.

This award demonstrates substantial, multi-school demand for a managed supply agency model from Kent Catholic Schools' Partnership. A credible future competitor would need the scale and systems to coordinate temporary education staffing across a partnership rather than serving individual schools in isolation. Relevant strengths would include a dependable pool of teaching and other school personnel, effective recruitment and vetting processes, rapid fulfilment of school staffing requests, and account management that gives schools a consistent service. Experience operating managed service or agency supply arrangements, handling peaks in demand and maintaining continuity across multiple sites would strengthen a supplier's position. Suppliers should also be able to work through framework-based public procurement routes and evidence reliable delivery at partnership scale.
