## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Ascend Learning Trust, a sub-central government public authority, involved the Supply Agency MSP contract, aimed at providing agency staffing across its schools. The process was carried out under a selective procurement method, specifically an award under an existing framework, and has now reached the completion stage. The awarded contract was finalised on 16th July 2026, with the contract period set from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2029. The main industry category involves business services, including recruitment, and the location for procurement activities encompasses the United Kingdom, particularly the Swindon region (UKK15). The total gross value of the award is GBP 1,668,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in staffing and recruitment services. As the ongoing demand for supply agency staff within educational settings remains high, companies with expertise in recruitment and personnel management could greatly benefit from engaging with similar procurement processes. Large enterprises capable of handling extensive staffing needs, such as organisations similar to Teaching Personnel Limited, which won the award, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engaging with these opportunities can drive business growth through the establishment of long-term relationships with educational institutions.
