## Summary

The David Ross Education Trust procured temporary and supply teaching staff, together with related education recruitment services, to meet staffing needs across its schools and educational establishments. The work includes supplying suitably qualified and experienced education professionals for short-term, temporary and other staffing requirements, with safeguarding, compliance and service quality requirements. It is a managed recruitment service rather than a purchase of teaching materials or school facilities. Delivery covers schools across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West of England. The buying organisation is The David Ross Education Trust, an education trust based in Loughborough.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive call-off from a Government Commercial Agency framework, using a selective procedure. Affinity Workforce Solutions Limited was selected as supplier. The award is dated 23 September 2026 and is valued at £13.4 million excluding VAT (£16 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. The procurement is arranged as one lot, covering the managed supply-teaching and education recruitment service. The award information identifies the successful supplier and the service scope, but does not set out a detailed scoring breakdown or specific eligibility thresholds.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement in future, this award indicates demand for a managed service capable of sourcing and supplying temporary teachers and other education professionals across a multi-school trust and a broad spread of English regions. Credible providers will need access to a reliable pool of suitably qualified and experienced education staff, and the operational capacity to fulfil short-term and other variable staffing needs across multiple establishments. The Trust’s stated emphasis on safeguarding, compliance and quality makes robust recruitment checks and consistent service controls central capabilities. Experience in education recruitment and the ability to work within an approved public-sector framework are relevant to this buyer’s purchasing route. The award went to a large workforce solutions provider, showing the scale of supplier selected for this requirement.
