UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

GLF Schools procured agency staffing services, covering the supply of temporary personnel through short-order forms. The requirement supports staffing needs across the organisation’s schools and delivery areas in England, with the buyer based in Banstead. The service is classified as personnel supply, including temporary staff. The arrangement is intended to provide access to several staffing suppliers rather than a single provider, allowing the schools to source agency personnel when required. This is a services contract for businesses that recruit, manage and supply temporary staff, or provide managed sourcing services for education-sector staffing requirements. The awarded suppliers include a large provider and three small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 25 August 2026. It used a selective procedure and an award under a framework, with no further competition for this call-off. Four suppliers were appointed: Empowering Learning Limited, Starfyn Limited, Edgware Associates Limited and A-Day Consultants Limited. The award value is £120,000 gross, against an estimated procurement value of £100,000. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an option for a 12-month extension for each supplier, giving a maximum extent date of 31 August 2028. One completed lot covered the full requirement. The arrangement was not evaluated as a competitive call-off.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from GLF Schools for agency staffing and managed sourcing of temporary personnel across its school network. A credible future competitor would need an established recruitment operation, the ability to respond to short-order staffing requests and sufficient capacity to supply personnel across multiple English delivery areas. Experience handling temporary staff placements and servicing several schools would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to operate within a multi-supplier framework, manage requests efficiently and maintain reliable communication with the buyer. The appointment of one large supplier alongside three SMEs indicates that both substantial resourcing capacity and focused specialist delivery models can meet this type of requirement.
