## Summary

Truro & Penwith Academy Trust procured supply agency services through a call-off from a framework. The requirement covers recruitment services for the trust’s activities across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. It is a services contract intended for an agency or recruitment provider able to supply suitable personnel in response to the academy trust’s needs. The buyer is Truro & Penwith Academy Trust, based in Threemilestone, Truro. The awarded requirement was identified as Lot 1, covering the supply agency services call-off. Businesses operating in education recruitment, temporary staffing or related agency provision will find this procurement most relevant, particularly those able to serve schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework; it was not competitive at call-off stage. Long-Term Teachers Limited was awarded Lot 1. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It has a gross value of £144,000, in GBP, with one 12-month extension option available, allowing the period to extend to 31 August 2028. The contract is active. The award concerns recruitment services and sits below the applicable threshold. Evaluation or award criteria are not set out in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates established demand from Truro & Penwith Academy Trust for outsourced agency recruitment services delivered across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to source, vet and place suitable personnel for an academy-trust customer, while maintaining reliable coverage across the relevant area. Experience in education recruitment or agency staffing would be directly relevant to the requirement, as would processes for managing placements, compliance and ongoing client service. The incumbent is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a large national provider. Familiarity with framework call-offs and below-threshold public-sector purchasing would also be useful.
