## Summary

Extol Academy Trust procured agency supply-staff recruitment services for its educational establishments. The requirement is for sourcing and supplying temporary education staff, rather than a general recruitment service. Delivery is specified across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement was divided into one lot, with the service awarded to multiple suppliers. This opportunity is relevant to education recruitment agencies able to provide supply staff to schools and other educational establishments across a broad geographic area. The buyer is Extol Academy Trust, based in Hartlepool.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded through a selective route under a framework. Nine suppliers were selected: Clockwork Education Ltd (£37,000 gross), Humly Ltd (£11,000), Milk Education Ltd (£1,000), Niche Education Ltd (£100,000), Source Supply Teachers Limited (£1,000), TeacherActive Limited (£3,000), TIB Services Ltd (£18,000), Vision for Education (£4,000) and Zen Educate Limited (£20,000). Contract periods run from September 2026 to dates between April 2029 and August 2029. The contracts were signed between 4 and 9 September 2026. Each contract allows for additional supply or agency days. The published procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria beyond identifying a selective framework award.

This award shows that Extol Academy Trust uses a multi-supplier framework for agency supply staffing, providing opportunities to providers able to meet education-sector recruitment needs across England. The selected field includes nine suppliers, several of which are identified as small and medium-sized businesses, so smaller specialist agencies can compete through this route as well as larger recruiters. A credible competitor would need to recruit and place suitable supply staff for educational establishments, respond to variable demand for additional supply days and serve a wide geographic footprint. The awards demonstrate that the trust selected multiple providers rather than relying on a single agency. Agencies with established education recruitment operations, candidate availability and the capacity to support schools across several regions are therefore aligned with the requirement demonstrated here.
