## Summary

Norfolk County Council procured agency staffing services connected with special education. The requirement is classified under CPV 80340000, covering special education services, and is titled Agency staff S539613. The buying organisation is Norfolk County Council, a local public authority based in Norwich. The appointed supplier, Solution Care 247 Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in care and support staffing. The procurement concerns the provision of personnel rather than the purchase of equipment, construction or a standalone education programme. It is therefore relevant to agencies and specialist staffing providers able to supply suitably experienced staff for special education settings and related council requirements in Norfolk.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure described as “below threshold - unknown”, with one completed lot. Solution Care 247 Ltd received the active award. The contract was signed on 13 November 2025, began on 14 November 2025 and runs to 31 March 2026. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The award date is not stated separately from the available outcome information. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement, but the published details do not set out award criteria, weightings or a separate selection basis. The contract remains active, and the recorded award covers the full requirement through the single lot.

This award indicates established council demand for agency personnel supporting special education services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate as a dependable staffing provider, source suitable workers quickly and demonstrate that its personnel can work effectively in special education environments. Providers with experience supplying care, support or education staff to public authorities may be well placed, particularly where they can manage compliance, safeguarding, workforce continuity and council-facing administration. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large national agency. Firms should assess whether they can provide a comparable specialist staffing service for Norfolk County Council at this scale.
