UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Consortium Trust procured supply teacher and education recruitment services for its schools and nursery settings. The requirement covers the provision of supply teachers, educational support staff and administrative staff, including temporary personnel (CPV 79620000). The buyer is Consortium Trust, a public authority based in Helmingham, Suffolk. Delivery covers schools and nursery settings across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a people-supply and education staffing requirement rather than a purchase of teaching materials, buildings or other goods. It is relevant to recruitment agencies and staffing providers able to supply temporary education personnel across a broad geographic area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded under a competitive, selective route using an existing framework. It was below the applicable threshold and treated as a light-touch service. There was one lot, awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 April 2029. Its gross value is £150,000. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies Reed as the selected supplier; no separate award date is recorded. Evaluation was carried out through the competitive framework award process. This opportunity therefore represents an awarded supply-agency contract, rather than a current invitation to submit bids.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates sustained demand from Consortium Trust for temporary staffing across schools and nursery settings, covering teaching, educational support and administrative roles. A credible future competitor would need an established education-recruitment operation, access to a dependable pool of supply teachers and support staff, and the ability to respond to short-term staffing needs. Coverage across England indicates that geographic reach, candidate availability and effective placement coordination are important capabilities. The successful supplier was a large specialist recruitment company, suggesting that scale and recruitment capacity were relevant to satisfying the requirement. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a public-sector framework and manage the compliance, communication and administration associated with placing temporary personnel in education settings.
