Summary of the contracting process

St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust bought supply teacher and education recruitment services for its schools. The requirement covers supplying teachers and recruiting education and support staff, rather than teaching provision or general employment services. The buyer is a public-sector academy trust based 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. The service is classified as recruitment services. The requirement was arranged through the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework, linking the trust’s school staffing needs with a framework-based education recruitment provider.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Career Teachers Limited. It was a selective, below-threshold award under a framework, and the call-off was non-competitive. There was one completed lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and is valued at £150,000 excluding VAT or £180,000 including VAT. The award date is not separately recorded. Career Teachers Limited was selected for the full requirement covering supply teachers and education and support staff recruitment services. The contract is active rather than cancelled or terminated.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from a multi-academy trust for an education recruitment partner able to support schools across England. Suppliers competing for a future requirement would need a dependable network of qualified supply teachers and education support workers, together with the recruitment, vetting, compliance and placement processes needed for school staffing. They would also need sufficient operational capacity to serve multiple schools and locations, respond to changing staffing needs and manage assignments consistently. Experience in education recruitment and a clear ability to provide both temporary teaching cover and wider support staff would be directly relevant. The procurement also shows that this buyer uses the GCA RM6376 framework and a framework-based call-off route for this requirement.
