## Summary

Lionheart Educational Trust procured education recruitment services for schools across its trust. The requirement covers temporary, fixed-term and permanent staffing, including teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and other education support staff. This is personnel supply and recruitment work for an education-sector buyer, rather than a single school appointment or a permanent staffing post. The awarded service covers schools within the Trust, with delivery in the UK. The procurement was structured as one lot and awarded to a single supplier. Its scope therefore spans several staff types and employment arrangements across the Trust’s schools, making it relevant to recruitment businesses able to source education professionals and support workforce needs across multiple school settings.

The procurement is complete: Affinity Workforce Solutions trading as Career Teachers Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 25 September 2026. The award was made on 24 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2029. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The single-lot call-off was awarded through a selective route under a framework agreement; it was not a competitive call-off. The procurement data records no evaluation criteria, so the basis for choosing the supplier cannot be described. The contract is active. These details describe the outcome of the completed process, rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

For recruitment suppliers, this award demonstrates demand from Lionheart Educational Trust for a broad education staffing service spanning temporary, fixed-term and permanent placements. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to recruit and place teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and other education support staff, and manage varied employment arrangements across multiple schools. The buyer chose a supplier through a framework call-off, so experience operating within an appropriate framework route would be relevant. The work suits a provider with the recruitment capacity to serve a trust-wide requirement rather than fill a single vacancy, and with the ability to respond across different school staffing needs. The award provides a concrete example of the buyer’s recruitment requirement and the supplier selected to deliver it.
