Kings Group Academies - GCA Lot 1 Teachers and Education Recruitment Panel

King's Group Academies has established a multi-supplier Call-Off Panel for the provision of comprehensive temporary, short-term, and long-term education recruitment and supply staffing services. This arrangement was facilitated through a compliant direct award process under the Government Commercial Agency Framework Agreement RM6376, specifically Lot 1. A total of 24 pre-approved framework suppliers have been appointed to ensure robust staffing coverage across all current and future constituent schools and academies managed by the Trust. The total contract value is 4,978,000 pounds including VAT, with an estimated performance period running from October 20, 2026, to August 31, 2029. The contracts are executed based on standard GCA framework call-off terms to maintain full compliance with the updated Academy Trust Handbook. All appointed suppliers must adhere to mandated safeguarding standards and capped supplier margins. To maximize value, the Trust has secured additional commercial savings by establishing preferential, sub-cap framework pricing tiers with a portion of the suppliers on the panel. This strategic procurement ensures both regulatory compliance and cost-efficiency in securing essential educational staffing.
