Summary of the contracting process

Stamford Park Trust is procuring temporary supply teaching staff and education recruitment services for 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 associated with the Trust’s education provision in Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding Greater Manchester area. This is a specialist education recruitment opportunity rather than a general staffing contract, suited to agencies able to source and supply teaching professionals for schools and colleges. The procurement category is recruitment services (CPV 79600000), with the service delivered under a single requirement covering the Trust’s four educational establishments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective, below-threshold direct award under Lot 1 of the GCA Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework (RM6376), without a competitive call-off. Six suppliers were appointed: Aspire People Limited (£50,000 net; £60,000 gross), Dovetail and Slate Limited (£25,000; £30,000), MAT Recruitment Ltd (£85,000; £102,000), Tradewind Recruitment Ltd (£150,000; £180,000), Vision for Education (£160,000; £192,000), and Worldwide Teaching Ltd (£55,000; £66,000). All contracts were signed on 27 August 2026 and run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a possible maximum extent to 31 August 2030. Renewal is available following a service review where no alternative provider has been found.

This award demonstrates established demand from Stamford Park Trust for education-focused recruitment agencies able to provide teachers at short notice and for longer placements across multiple schools and a college. A credible competitor would need dependable access to qualified teaching staff, recruitment and placement processes suitable for both temporary and ongoing requirements, and the operational capacity to support several educational sites. Strong safeguarding controls are important because the service involves placing staff in schools and a college and must support the Trust’s statutory obligations. The appointed supplier group includes five small and medium-sized enterprises and one large business, indicating that the requirement can be served by specialist agencies of different scales. Experience supplying education settings and maintaining continuity when permanent staff are unavailable would be commercially relevant when this requirement returns.
