UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust bought supply teacher and education and support staff recruitment services for its schools. The requirement covers sourcing and supplying temporary teaching staff, education staff and support staff through the Crown Commercial Service RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. The buyer is St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust, based at the Hallam Pastoral Centre in Sheffield. Delivery covers schools across England, including 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 specialist education recruitment requirement rather than a general staffing contract, and is relevant to agencies able to provide supply teachers and related education or school support personnel across a broad geographic area.

The procurement has been awarded and completed, with one lot awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited. The award was made on 21 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £110,000 excluding VAT and £132,000 including VAT. The process was a below-threshold procurement using the RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework; the recorded procurement method detail is “Below threshold - unknown”. The contract is for services and the tender status is complete. Hays is the selected supplier. The requirement was not divided into multiple lots: the single lot covers the supply teacher and education recruitment service for the Trust’s schools.

For a future requirement from this buyer, a credible competitor would need an established education recruitment operation capable of supplying both qualified supply teachers and wider education or school support staff. The awarded supplier is a large specialist recruitment company, indicating that scale, recruitment reach and operational capacity matter alongside knowledge of the education staffing market. Suppliers would need to support schools across all English regions covered by the requirement, manage temporary staffing at multiple locations and fulfil requests reliably through the relevant public-sector framework route. Experience supplying schools and education trusts, a substantial candidate network, strong compliance processes and the ability to coordinate placements nationally would strengthen a competing offer.
