The procurement process, which utilised an open procedure, aimed to establish framework agreements starting from April 2026 for a duration of three years, extendable by an additional year. Key elements of the tender included a preferred supplier list and a master vendor managed service. The value of the contracts awarded was substantial, with a gross amount of £2.4 billion. The process culminated with contracts awarded on 30th April 2026, and the procurement was overseen by the Cabinet Office. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth to enterprises specialising in recruitment services, especially those capable of supplying temporary and permanent staff to educational sectors. Given the extensive contract values involved, large-scale recruitment firms with robust supply chain management capabilities are well-suited to compete. SMEs and VCSEs might also find niche openings, particularly within lot structures emphasising social value and quality service delivery. The open procurement method and extensive framework allow various business models, including master and neutral vend models, to participate, fostering a competitive and diverse supplier environment. This, in turn, indicates substantial potential for business expansion and establishing long-term governmental contracts. ## Notice Government Commercial Agency, as the Authority, intends to put in place an agreement for the provision of temporary and permanent staffing for use by schools and educational establishments (excluding independent/for profit schools) The lotting structure is: Lot 1 - Preferred supplier list Lot 2 - Master Vendor Managed Service Full list of successful/unsuccesful suppliers can be found on our website: https://www.gca.gov.uk/agreements/RM6376 ### Lot Information Teachers and Education Recruitment Renewal: The initial duration of the Framework is 3 years, with an option to extend for 12 months.

We had 2 market sector sessions (one in person in London, one virtual) with our key industry bodies (REC and APSCo) and their suppliers, and one further virtual supplier session for suppliers interested in potentially bidding for the resulting framework contract. Based on feedback from our pre market engagement, options were then proposed to the market in our second set of market engagement sessions in March 2025 which gave specific insight into the agreement design.Specific feedback was sought on lot structure, permanent provision and temp to perm fees.
