Summary of the contracting process

Stamford Park Trust procured temporary supply teaching staff and education recruitment services for its three secondary schools and one college. The requirement covers both short-term and long-term supply teachers, helping maintain continuity of teaching and learning when permanent staff are unavailable. It also supports workforce flexibility, education standards and compliance with statutory safeguarding obligations. The work is delivered across the Trust’s education establishments in Greater Manchester. This is a recruitment and staffing services requirement rather than a construction, facilities management or general education consultancy contract. Suppliers able to source, vet and provide qualified temporary teaching personnel, and to support wider education recruitment needs, would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure as a direct award under Lot 1 of the Government Commercial Agency Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026, with services running from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027 and a maximum extent date of 31 August 2030. Teaching Personnel Limited was awarded one contract on 2 July 2026 for £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited was awarded a separate contract on 4 August 2026 for £175,000 excluding VAT (£210,000 including VAT). Both awards cover recruitment services, are active, and include renewal where an alternative provider has not been found following a service review.

This award shows that the Trust uses a framework-based, non-competitive route to secure temporary teachers and education recruitment support, with more than one large specialist recruitment supplier appointed. A credible future competitor would need an established education staffing operation capable of supplying both short-term and long-term teaching personnel across multiple secondary schools and a college. Strong candidate sourcing, qualification checks, safeguarding compliance and reliable workforce vetting would be central to delivery. Suppliers would also need the capacity to respond to changing staffing requirements, maintain continuity when permanent teachers are unavailable, and manage recruitment across a multi-establishment education trust. Experience in education recruitment and evidence of dependable placement and account-management processes would support competitiveness when this requirement is next reviewed.
