## Summary

Lingfield Education Trust procured temporary teaching staff, support staff and related education recruitment services for its schools and educational establishments. The requirement covers recruitment and supply arrangements intended to meet operational staffing needs across the education estate. The buyer is Lingfield Education Trust, based in Darlington. Delivery covers the North East of England and Yorkshire and the Humber. The service is classified as recruitment services (CPV 79600000), so relevant suppliers are education staffing agencies, teacher supply businesses and recruitment providers able to source and place temporary teachers and support staff for schools. The procurement covered one lot and focused on supplying people rather than delivering teaching, school management or wider education consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective process under a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. Source Supply Teachers Limited was awarded the contract on 17 August 2026 for £750,000 gross. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a scheduled signature date of 27 August 2026. The award is for the single lot covering temporary teaching staff, support staff and related education recruitment services. The award value is above the relevant threshold. The selected supplier is an SME. The available outcome shows an active award to Source Supply Teachers Limited; there is no recorded cancellation or termination.

This award indicates established demand from Lingfield Education Trust for agency-supplied temporary teachers, education support staff and related recruitment services across schools in the North East of England and Yorkshire and the Humber. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to a pool of suitably qualified teaching and support personnel, effective screening and recruitment processes, and the operational capacity to respond to changing school staffing requirements. Experience supplying temporary staff to schools or other educational establishments would be directly relevant. Providers should also be able to manage placements across both delivery areas and maintain service continuity for a multi-school education trust. The incumbent is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist staffing business rather than only a large national provider.
