## Summary

Lionheart Educational Trust procured education recruitment and staffing services for schools across the Trust. The requirement covers temporary, fixed-term and permanent placements, including qualified teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and other education support staff. The work is personnel supply and recruitment, rather than the provision of education itself. Delivery is across the Trust’s schools in England. The buyer is Lionheart Educational Trust, based in Leicester. This is a single service requirement covering staffing across its schools, rather than separate advertised categories of teaching and support roles.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Lionheart Educational Trust selected NOW Education Group Limited, a small and medium-sized supplier, on 24 September 2026. The award was made through a selective route as a call-off under a framework, without a further competitive process for this call-off. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2029. Its value is £425,000 excluding VAT (£510,000 including VAT). The award covered one lot. The call-off is non-exclusive, with no guaranteed spend or volume; supplier performance is to be monitored through day-to-day contract management and feedback from schools.

This award shows demand from Lionheart Educational Trust for a broad education staffing service spanning temporary cover, fixed-term roles and permanent recruitment, across both teaching and support positions. A credible competitor would need access to a capable pool of qualified teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and other education support staff, alongside the recruitment capacity to fill different types of school vacancy across the Trust. The selected supplier was a small and medium-sized business, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by a supplier at that scale. The framework call-off route is commercially relevant: businesses seeking similar work with this buyer should be positioned to supply through the applicable framework and manage a non-exclusive arrangement in which placements and spend are not guaranteed.
