UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust is procuring supply teachers and recruitment services for education and support staff for schools within the trust. The requirement covers the sourcing and supply of temporary teaching staff, education staff and support staff, under the national GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. The main category is recruitment services (CPV 79600000). Delivery covers schools across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East and West Midlands, the East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buyer is St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust, based in Sheffield. The arrangement is a single completed lot and is intended for an education recruitment provider able to support staffing requirements across a multi-academy trust.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective, below-threshold award under the GCA RM6376 framework, without a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and awarded on 12 August 2026 to Academic Appointments Limited, an SME based in Leeds. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £85,000 excluding VAT and £102,000 including VAT. The tender and its single lot are complete, and the award is active. The evaluation route was the framework award process rather than an open competition. The contract covers supply teachers and education and support staff recruitment services for St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust schools across England. This is a single-supplier award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for an education recruitment specialist supporting a multi-academy trust across a broad English geographic footprint. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need established access to qualified supply teachers and education and support staff, together with the operational capacity to respond to school staffing needs across multiple regions. Credible competitors would also need experience of recruiting for schools or comparable education settings, robust candidate vetting and compliance processes, and the ability to manage temporary placements reliably. Familiarity with public-sector framework procurement is important because this requirement was awarded through the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. A strong service would combine a dependable regional candidate network with central account management and consistent support for participating schools.
