UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lingfield Education Trust procured temporary teaching staff, school support staff and related education recruitment services for the operational needs of its schools and other educational establishments. The requirement covers the supply of teachers and education personnel through a recruitment service, rather than permanent employment or general staffing. The buyer is Lingfield Education Trust, a public education organisation based in Darlington. Delivery covers schools and educational establishments in North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber. The service is classified as recruitment services. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies and education staffing providers able to supply suitably qualified temporary teachers and support staff to schools across these areas, and able to manage the associated recruitment and placement activity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement, with one completed lot. The award was made on 17 August 2026 to School House Recruitment Ltd. The awarded value is £291,666 excluding VAT and £350,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award is recorded as active, while the procurement was not competitively reopened for this call-off. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 26 August 2026. The requirement was above the applicable threshold. Evaluation information is not set out beyond the selective framework-award route, so the key commercial indicators are the education recruitment scope, the single-lot structure and the awarded contract scale.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lingfield Education Trust for an agency capable of supplying temporary teachers and school support staff, alongside related education recruitment services. A credible future competitor would need a dependable pool of suitably qualified education personnel, effective checks and compliance processes, and the operational capacity to respond to staffing requirements across multiple schools. Experience of recruiting for educational establishments would be directly relevant, particularly where assignments involve varied teaching and support roles. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist recruitment business rather than only by a national staffing group. Providers should also be able to manage placements across North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber through a consistent service model.
