UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust is procuring supply teachers and education and support staff recruitment services for its schools and central team. The requirement covers recruitment services (CPV 79600000), including the supply of temporary teaching and education-support personnel. Delivery spans England: the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a trust-wide staffing requirement rather than a single-school service, so relevant suppliers are education recruitment agencies able to support multiple schools and a central trust function across a broad geographic area. The buying organisation is St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust, based in Sheffield.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a competitive call-off from the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. It used a selective procedure and was below the relevant threshold. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to Trust Education Limited, an SME, and signed on 27 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £400,000 excluding VAT and £480,000 including VAT. The award was competitive, but the published information does not state the individual evaluation criteria or their weighting. The requirement covers the full listed service across England rather than separate awards to different suppliers or lots.

This award shows sustained demand from a multi-academy trust for an education recruitment partner covering both supply teaching and wider education and support staffing. A credible future competitor would need established education-sector recruitment capability, access to suitably qualified and available teachers and support staff, and the operational capacity to serve several schools and a central team. Broad coverage across England is important, as is the ability to manage placements and recruitment activity consistently across multiple regions. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale is achievable by a focused specialist rather than only a national corporate provider. Experience of the relevant education recruitment framework and competitive framework call-offs would also be commercially relevant.
