## Summary

Lionheart Educational Trust bought education recruitment and staffing services for its schools. The requirement covers temporary, fixed-term and permanent staff, including teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and other education support staff. The work is to support schools across the Trust, with delivery in the East Midlands region of England. This is a personnel supply service, rather than a purchase of goods or building works. The Trust is based in Leicester, and the awarded supplier, TeacherActive Limited, is based in Birmingham.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TeacherActive Limited on 24 September 2026. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2029. The awarded value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). The Trust placed the call-off under a framework, using a selective route below the applicable threshold; the call-off was not competitive. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The contract is active.

For recruitment agencies and education staffing providers, this award demonstrates continuing demand from Lionheart Educational Trust for a broad range of school staff, covering temporary cover as well as fixed-term and permanent recruitment. A credible competitor would need the capacity to source and supply teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and wider education support staff across multiple schools, while handling different employment durations and staffing needs. The framework call-off route is commercially significant: suppliers would need suitable framework access and the ability to compete through that route, rather than relying on an open standalone tender. The award went to a large recruitment supplier, indicating that the buyer selected a provider able to serve a multi-school requirement.
