UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lingfield Education Trust procured temporary teaching staff, temporary support staff and related education recruitment services for operational requirements across its schools and educational establishments. The work covers education recruitment rather than the direct supply of classroom materials or school facilities. Delivery is across the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber, serving establishments within those areas. The buyer is Lingfield Education Trust, a public-sector education organisation based in Darlington. The requirement is relevant to recruitment agencies and education staffing providers able to source, vet and place temporary teachers and support staff for schools, and to manage the associated recruitment service. Suppliers focused solely on permanent recruitment, general office staffing or non-education services are less closely aligned with this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective process under a framework, with one completed lot. The procedure was not competitive at this stage. The contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to Vision for Education for £400,000 gross. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. A signature was scheduled for 26 August 2026. The award is for recruitment services, classified under CPV 79600000, and is above the relevant threshold. Vision for Education is the selected supplier and is recorded as an SME. The award covers the full requirement rather than separate supplier awards, so businesses assessing this opportunity should treat the stated value and period as applying to the single awarded lot.

This award shows that Lingfield Education Trust uses a framework route to secure temporary teachers, education support staff and related recruitment services across schools in the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber. A future competitor would need a dependable education staffing operation, with access to suitably qualified teachers and support workers and the ability to respond to changing school operational needs. Credibility would also depend on effective candidate sourcing, checks, vetting, placement administration and ongoing communication with schools and staff. Providers should be able to deliver consistently across multiple educational establishments and demonstrate experience of temporary education recruitment at this scale. The successful supplier being an SME indicates that a specialist smaller provider can compete for this type of education staffing requirement.
