## Summary

Lionheart Educational Trust procured education recruitment services for schools across its trust. The work 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, rather than a single school appointment or a general education service. The stated delivery area is the East Midlands. The requirement brings together different staffing types and employment arrangements across multiple schools, so it is relevant to recruitment businesses able to source and place education staff for a school trust. The Trust is the buyer and the call-off was made under a framework.

The procurement is complete: MAT Recruitment Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 28 September 2026. The award was made on 24 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with one optional extension of up to 12 months at the Trust’s discretion, potentially extending to 30 September 2028. The awarded value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). It was a below-threshold, selective framework call-off, with one lot. The data records no competitive call-off. The procurement outcome is for the full staffing requirement across the Trust’s schools; no separate lot awards are recorded.

This award shows demand from Lionheart Educational Trust for a supplier able to recruit across temporary, fixed-term and permanent education roles, including teaching and classroom support staff. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate access to a broad pool of appropriately skilled candidates, the ability to respond to staffing needs across multiple schools, and recruitment processes suited to both short-term cover and longer-term appointments. The awarded supplier was a large recruitment business, indicating that the buyer selected a provider operating at scale. The framework call-off route is also relevant: suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to compete through the applicable framework, rather than treating this as an open standalone tender.
