Summary of the contracting process

St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust bought supply teacher provision and recruitment services for education and support staff for its schools. The requirement covers the sourcing and supply of temporary teaching and other education-related personnel, rather than goods or construction. It is a public-sector education procurement managed by the Trust, based in Sheffield. Delivery covered 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. The procurement was made under the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. The relevant service category is recruitment services (CPV 79600000).

The procurement has been completed and awarded. St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and awarded to Teacheractive Limited, an SME. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information identifies recruitment services as the awarded service. The direct-award route was through the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework, rather than an open tender with competing bids.

This procurement shows a multi-academy trust using a national framework to obtain supply teachers and education and support staff recruitment. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need an established education recruitment operation, the ability to source and place suitable teaching and support personnel, and the systems to manage temporary staffing for schools. Coverage across England indicates that geographic reach and capacity to serve schools in multiple regions are relevant commercial strengths. Teacheractive Limited was identified as an SME supplier, showing that a smaller specialist recruitment business can satisfy this type of requirement through the framework route. Competitors should therefore build credible education-sector delivery, framework access and reliable multi-school fulfilment capability before this requirement returns to market.
