Summary of the contracting process

GLF Schools procured agency staffing services, covering the supply of temporary personnel to support its schools. The requirement is classified as personnel supply services (CPV 79620000) and is intended for short-order staffing requests under arrangements with multiple suppliers. GLF Schools is the buying organisation, based at The Beacon School in Banstead. The service covers schools across areas of England including London, the South East, the East of England and the West Midlands. The requirement is a service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. It is relevant to recruitment agencies, education staffing businesses and workforce providers able to source and place temporary staff for school requirements across a broad geographic area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement. The single lot was awarded on 25 August 2026 to 21 suppliers: TIB Services, Calculate Recruitment, Huntress Search, Engage Education, Milk Education, Humly, Randstad Solutions, Affinity Workforce Solutions, Career Teachers, Step Teachers, Consultancy+, Simply Education, Tradewind Recruitment, Supply Desk, Prospero Group, anzuk Education, Protocol Education, Teaching Personnel, Bounce Teachers, Pertemps Education Network and Revised Recruitment Group. The award value is £1,440,000 gross. The signed contract is valued at £720,000 gross, was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a possible 12-month extension to 31 August 2028. The procurement description gives an estimated value of £600,000 and identifies 12-month contracts with the extension option. Award under the framework was not competitive at this stage.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from a multi-school education organisation for agency staffing delivered through short-order requests. A credible future competitor would need a functioning temporary staffing operation, access to suitable education personnel and the ability to respond quickly when schools need cover. The awarded supplier group includes both specialist education recruiters and broader workforce businesses, ranging from small and medium-sized firms to large national providers. Suppliers serving London, the South East, the East of England, the Midlands and surrounding areas would be well placed for the geographic spread. Relevant strengths include education-sector recruitment experience, reliable candidate vetting and placement processes, sufficient staffing capacity for multiple schools, and the operational systems needed to manage requests and supply personnel consistently.
