## Summary

Sidney Stringer Multi Academy Trust procured temporary supply teaching staff and education recruitment services for its education estate in Coventry. The requirement supports two secondary schools, two primary schools and one special school. Services cover both short-term and long-term supply teachers, providing continuity of teaching and learning when permanent staff are unavailable. The wider purpose is to maintain education standards, provide workforce flexibility and meet statutory safeguarding obligations. This is a recruitment and staffing services requirement (CPV 79600000), delivered across the Trust’s schools in Coventry. It is relevant to education recruitment agencies and teaching supply providers able to source and place temporary teachers for varied school settings, including primary, secondary and special education.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a non-competitive direct award under Lot 1 of the Government Commercial Agency Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework (RM6376), using a below-threshold selective procedure. Six active awards were made: Just Teachers Limited (£100,333 net; £120,400 gross), Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited (£102,495 net; £122,994 gross), PK Education Limited (£96,162 net; £115,394 gross), Applebough Recruitment Ltd (£96,162 net; £115,394 gross), and Elite Supply Services Limited received two awards (£96,162 net; £115,394 gross, and £94,000 net; £112,800 gross). All values are in GBP and are estimated maximums. Contracts run from 1 September 2026 to 29 April 2029, except two beginning 14 September 2026; one contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and the others between 27 July and 9 September 2026. One contract includes a 12-month renewal option, with a maximum extent date of 29 April 2030.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from a multi-school academy trust for agencies that can supply qualified temporary teachers across primary, secondary and special-school settings. Competitors would need a dependable teacher network, the recruitment capacity to cover both short-term gaps and longer placements, and the operational ability to respond across several schools in Coventry. Credible providers should be able to support continuity of learning when permanent staff are unavailable, manage workforce flexibility and meet statutory safeguarding obligations. The appointed supplier group includes both large and SME recruitment businesses, indicating that organisations of different sizes can operate in this route. Relevant future competitors should also understand how to work through the Government Commercial Agency framework and deliver education recruitment consistently across multiple school phases.
