UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust buys supply agency staff services for use across its schools in East Sussex. The requirement is for recruitment and provision of temporary staff, rather than goods or building works. Five recruitment suppliers were selected to provide the service. The buyer is based in Eastbourne, and the recorded delivery area is East Sussex.

The procurement is complete and the awards were made on 30 September 2026 through a selective procedure under a framework agreement. There was one lot and five suppliers were selected: 3D Recruit Limited, awarded £1,245,833; Teaching Personnel Limited, £216,666; Engage Partners Limited, £208,333; Guardian Selection Limited (GSL Education), £95,800; and Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited, £66,666. These are the recorded award amounts in pounds. Each award covers the same contract period, from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2030. The process was a non-competitive framework award. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are recorded in the procurement details.

The awards show that the Trust uses multiple recruitment agencies for its supply-staff requirement in East Sussex, with one supplier receiving a substantially larger award than the others. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that it can recruit and provide agency staff reliably for the Trust’s schools, and handle work at a scale suited to a multi-supplier arrangement. The selected suppliers include both smaller recruitment businesses and larger firms, indicating that the requirement was not limited to one supplier size. The route used was an award under a framework, so experience supplying through relevant frameworks would be commercially pertinent.
