Summary of the contracting process

CONSORTIUM TRUST procured services to supply temporary teachers and education support staff to its schools. The requirement is an education staffing and personnel supply service, classified under CPV 79620000. Delivery covers 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 broad geographic requirement rather than a single-school engagement, so relevant suppliers are education recruitment agencies able to source and place teachers and support staff across multiple English regions. The buyer is Consortium Trust, a sub-central public authority based in Helmingham, Suffolk.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective, below-threshold call-off under a framework, using a non-competitive route. One lot produced 14 active awards. TeacherActive, Simply Education and Vision for Education each received contracts worth £150,000 gross, signed on 30 July, 5 August and 3 August 2026 respectively. Protocol Education received two awards: £150,000 gross signed on 3 August 2026, and £180,000 gross signed on 13 August 2026. Key Education Services, Opus Teach, Step Teachers, Teaching Personnel and Connex each received £180,000 gross awards, signed between 6 August and 8 September 2026. Randstad Solutions received £180,000 gross, signed 25 August 2026. 4myschools received £180,000 gross, signed 8 September 2026. Teach received £180,000 gross, signed 20 August 2026. Teachwell received £180,000 gross, signed 24 August 2026. Most contracts run from 1 September 2026 to 29 April 2029; Randstad runs to 31 July 2029, while 4myschools, Teach and Teachwell run to 31 July 2027.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Consortium Trust for agencies that can recruit and supply qualified teachers and education support staff across England. The appointed supplier group includes both large national recruitment businesses and smaller specialist agencies, showing that credible competition can come from different operating scales. A future supplier would need dependable access to a broad education staffing pool, effective recruitment and vetting processes, and the capacity to respond to schools across multiple regions. Strong account management, rapid placement capability and reliable fulfilment across a distributed school network would be commercially important. Experience supplying temporary education personnel to public-sector or school customers would help demonstrate suitability for this type of requirement.
