UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lingfield Education Trust procured temporary teaching and support staff, together with related education recruitment services, to meet operational needs across its schools and educational establishments. The work is education-sector staffing and recruitment, including supplying temporary personnel. Delivery covers locations in North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement was arranged as a single lot under a framework award. This is relevant to education recruitment agencies and staffing suppliers able to source and provide temporary teachers and school support staff across these areas, and to manage recruitment services for a school trust.

The procurement is complete: Vision for Education was selected and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The award was made on 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027 and is valued at £400,000 gross. It was awarded through a selective process under a framework, with no reopening of competition for this call-off. The requirement was one lot. The published data does not set out separate evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility conditions for this award.

This award demonstrates demand from Lingfield Education Trust for a recruitment supplier able to provide temporary teachers and school support staff, as well as related education recruitment services, across schools and educational establishments in North East England and Yorkshire and the Humber. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a dependable pool of teaching and support personnel, and the operational capacity to respond to school staffing needs across both areas. The trust's stated contract-management focus is on fulfilment rates, the quality of supplied staff, safeguarding compliance and responsiveness. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to demonstrate effective fulfilment, staff quality assurance, robust safeguarding processes and prompt service. The route used here was a framework award, so relevant framework access would be important to compete by the same route.
