    Brief

    The Government Commercial Agency seeks suppliers to provide temporary and permanent staffing solutions for schools and educational establishments (excluding independent and for-profit institutions). This opportunity is structured across two lots: Lot 1 offers a Preferred Supplier List arrangement, allowing schools to select from pre-approved providers; Lot 2 provides a Master Vendor Managed Service model, where a single vendor manages staffing operations on behalf of participating educational institutions. Suppliers interested in joining this framework agreement can view the full list of successful and unsuccessful bidders on the GCA website at https://www.gca.gov.uk/agreements/RM6376. This is an ideal opportunity for recruitment agencies and staffing providers to establish long-term partnerships with the education sector across the UK.
