UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lingfield Education Trust procured temporary teaching staff, school support staff and related education recruitment services to meet operational needs across schools and educational establishments. The requirement covers supplying temporary personnel and recruitment support rather than education facilities or teaching materials. The buyer is Lingfield Education Trust, based in Darlington. Delivery is identified across North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber. The service falls within education recruitment and staffing, including recruitment services (CPV 79600000).

The procurement is complete and awarded through a selective route as a call-off under a framework; it was not a competitive framework call-off. There was one lot. Source Supply Teachers Limited was selected on 17 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 28 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027 and is valued at £750,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Performance is to be monitored through contract management, including fulfilment rates, staff quality, safeguarding compliance and responsiveness.

This award shows demand from Lingfield Education Trust for a supplier able to recruit and provide temporary teachers and school support staff, together with related education recruitment services across its schools and educational establishments. A credible competitor would need to respond to operational staffing needs across the stated North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber areas, with capacity to fulfil placements reliably and provide staff of appropriate quality. Safeguarding compliance and responsiveness are explicit performance concerns, alongside fulfilment rates, so a supplier’s processes and track record in these areas would be central to competing for the same requirement. The award was made as a framework call-off, so familiarity with the relevant framework route would also be important.
