UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Cuthbert’s Roman Catholic Academy Trust procured a managed service for supplying agency teachers and other education staff to 11 schools in its trust. The provider is intended to act as the trust’s strategic supply partner, coordinating staffing across the schools and delivering a high-quality, compliant and cost-effective service. This is education recruitment and agency staffing rather than a direct recruitment campaign for permanent posts. The delivery area is recorded as Yorkshire and the Humber, England. The requirement covers the trust’s relevant schools, so the service involves supporting a multi-school education organisation rather than a single school.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. The trust awarded the contract to Tradewind Recruitment Ltd on 28 August 2026. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option to extend once for a further 12 months, to 31 August 2029. The awarded value is £1,233,810 excluding VAT (£1,480,572 including VAT). The competition was run under a framework agreement using a selective procedure. It was a single-lot award, and the procurement records competition within the framework. The stated purpose was a compliant, cost-effective managed service across all relevant trust schools.

For suppliers considering similar education staffing work, this award shows that the trust buys agency staffing through a managed-service model and uses a framework route. A credible competitor would need to provide strategic coordination across multiple schools, respond to varied staffing requirements and maintain reliable teacher and education-staff supply. The trust’s stated priorities point to demonstrable service quality, compliance with relevant requirements and cost control, alongside the operational capacity to support 11 schools through one service. Recruitment providers with experience delivering education staffing at trust-wide scale would be best placed to compete when this requirement next comes to market. The selected provider is a large recruitment business, indicating the capability required for this particular multi-school managed service.
