UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire University Academies Trust procured health and safety services for its academies. The requirement covers competent person services, health and safety advice, audits, guidance, compliance support, accident and incident reporting support, health and safety management tools, and liaison with enforcement authorities. This is a professional health and safety consultancy and compliance support service, classified under CPV 71317200. The buyer is Staffordshire University Academies Trust, based in Stoke-on-Trent. Delivery is across the Trust’s academies in Staffordshire and the surrounding Staffordshire area. The work combines routine advisory and assurance activity with practical support following accidents or incidents, helping the Trust manage its legal and operational health and safety responsibilities across its education estate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Entrust Support Services Limited. The contract was signed on 15 May 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £71,997 excluding VAT, or £86,396.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route; the published data does not set out the individual scoring criteria. The successful supplier is Entrust Support Services Limited. The arrangement covers the full health and safety services requirement rather than separate awards across multiple lots.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Staffordshire University Academies Trust for an outsourced, end-to-end health and safety capability across an education group. A credible future competitor would need qualified competent-person capacity, strong knowledge of health and safety compliance in academies, and the ability to provide both planned and responsive support. Relevant capability includes carrying out audits, producing practical guidance, advising on compliance, supporting accident and incident reporting, and operating health and safety management tools. Suppliers should also be able to maintain clear records, communicate with schools and Trust leadership, and liaise confidently with enforcement authorities. The requirement suits an established specialist provider able to deliver consistent coverage across multiple academy sites, with sufficient scale and resilience for ongoing advisory, assurance and incident-response work.
