UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The White Horse Federation is procuring supply agency services for its schools. The requirement covers the provision of temporary or contingent staffing through a managed service provider arrangement, supporting schools across the federation. The buying organisation is The White Horse Federation, a public authority based in Swindon. Delivery is across the federation’s schools in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity in the business services and recruitment category, corresponding to CPV 79000000. It is relevant to workforce, recruitment and education staffing providers able to coordinate supply agency services across multiple school settings rather than to suppliers offering a single product or one-off consultancy service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure with an award under a framework, and was recorded as non-competitive. One lot was completed. Affinity Workforce Solutions Limited was awarded the contract on 24 July 2026. The award value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT and £2,400,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. A future signature was scheduled for 4 August 2026. The award is above the relevant threshold. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details, so the key commercial features are the framework route, the managed supply-agency scope and the multi-year contract period.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from The White Horse Federation for a coordinated supply-agency service across its schools. Competitors seeking similar work would need to provide a managed recruitment and workforce operation capable of serving multiple education sites, handling recurring staffing requirements and maintaining consistent service across a federation rather than supporting only one school. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience in recruitment or temporary staffing, the operational capacity to manage a sizeable multi-school requirement, and the systems and account management needed to coordinate schools and workers. The route to market is an existing framework award, so suppliers should monitor relevant framework opportunities and be prepared to meet framework participation and service requirements when comparable demand returns.
