## Summary

The Academy Transformation Trust, a public authority within the sub-central government classification, recently completed the procurement process for temporary agency staffing services across its 21 academies, including those in primary, secondary, and further education sectors. This initiative, titled "Supply of Temporary Agency Staff for Educational Settings," entails a framework agreement where services are divided into three lots covering the National, West Midlands, and East of England regions. The procurement followed a competitive flexible procedure and contracts have been awarded, with the process now in the Award stage as of 24th December 2025. The contracts, amounting to an estimated gross total of £7.5 million, span a duration beginning on 1st January 2026 and concluding on 1st January 2029, demonstrating a robust commitment to fulfilling educational staffing needs across the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the recruitment sector, especially those experienced in providing temporary educational staff. Large-scale suppliers with capabilities to deliver nation-wide as well as regionalised services are well-positioned to compete. Given the structured framework and performance-based selection criteria, including a 60% quality and 40% price focus, businesses that can ensure high standards of candidate quality, safeguarding compliance, and rapid response times will thrive. This tender also offers potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage, as evidenced by the successful participation of SMEs during the bidding process. By aligning service delivery with the specific needs of the academies, suppliers can enhance their market presence and contribute to the educational sector’s efficiency and quality.
