UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Inspire Education Group is seeking an agency to supply personnel, including temporary staff, for its education group. The requirement is a services contract covering the group’s staffing agency needs. Work will be delivered for Inspire Education Group in Peterborough, although the published requirement does not identify a more specific delivery location. The buyer is a public undertaking responsible for the procurement. Suppliers can request access to the full tender documentation through the buyer’s e-tendering system, where the detailed requirements, terms and return instructions are provided. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies, temporary staffing providers and workforce-supply businesses able to support an education-sector organisation with personnel supply.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Expressions of interest had to be submitted by 10 August 2026, and tender submissions are due by 12 noon on 23 September 2026. The evaluation decision is scheduled for 5 October 2026. The contract is planned to run from 5 October 2026 to 5 October 2029, with an option to extend for two further years in one-year increments, giving a maximum end date of 5 October 2031. There is one lot. The published overall value is £0 gross and the lot value is recorded as AED 0 gross. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality and 30% price. Submissions may be made electronically in English.

This opportunity suits established recruitment and temporary staffing agencies with the operational capacity to supply personnel across an education group. The core commercial fit is experience in sourcing, vetting, coordinating and placing temporary staff, with the ability to manage an ongoing agency relationship rather than a one-off placement. Suppliers should be able to evidence service quality, reliable fulfilment and effective workforce administration, since quality carries substantially more weight than price in evaluation. Businesses with scalable candidate networks, responsive account management and experience supporting education or similarly regulated organisations are likely to be well placed. The contract’s potential extension rewards suppliers able to sustain consistent delivery over a multi-year period.
