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 its schools and educational establishments. This is an education staffing and recruitment service, including supplying temporary personnel rather than recruiting for a single permanent post. The award covers recruitment services delivered to schools in the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is relevant to education recruitment agencies able to source and supply teachers and support staff for school settings.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Lingfield Education Trust selected School House Recruitment Ltd through a selective procedure under an existing framework; the award was made without a competitive call-off. There was one completed lot. The award date was 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract value is £350,000 including VAT (£291,666 excluding VAT). The published award identifies recruitment services as the procured service. The contract’s performance will be monitored through regular contract management, including fulfilment rates, staff quality, safeguarding compliance and responsiveness.

For recruitment suppliers considering comparable future requirements from Lingfield Education Trust, the award indicates demand for a provider able to supply both temporary teachers and school support staff across the Trust’s educational establishments. A credible competitor would need effective education-sector candidate sourcing, capacity to fulfil staffing requests reliably, and processes to check the quality and suitability of supplied staff. Safeguarding compliance is explicitly part of performance monitoring, alongside fulfilment rates and responsiveness, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate robust safeguarding arrangements and dependable service management. The work was awarded through an existing framework using a selective, non-competitive call-off, making framework access and the ability to deliver under its terms commercially relevant. The selected provider was an SME.
