Summary of the contracting process

St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust bought supply teachers and education recruitment services for schools within the trust. The requirement covers the provision of temporary teaching staff and education or support staff through a recruitment service. The buyer is a public authority based in Sheffield. The awarded service is classified as recruitment services and is intended for use by the trust’s schools across England. This is a staffing and education recruitment opportunity rather than the supply of goods, construction or facilities management. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are education recruitment agencies able to source and provide teachers and support staff for school settings, and to manage the associated recruitment service for a multi-academy trust.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective, non-competitive award below the relevant threshold under the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework. There was one completed lot. PK Education Limited was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The framework award route means this procurement was not an open competition for suppliers outside the framework, and no separate competitive process was used for this call-off.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust for recurring access to supply teachers and education or support staff. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established education recruitment operation, reliable access to suitably qualified teaching and support personnel, and the capacity to respond to staffing needs across the trust’s schools. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the scale of the service can be handled by a specialist recruitment business rather than only a large national provider. Suppliers would also need to understand framework-based public sector call-offs and be able to deliver recruitment services across England, while maintaining dependable candidate sourcing, vetting and placement processes for schools.
