Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment

Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment (RM6376) is a UK public-sector framework agreement managed by Government Commercial Agency (formerly Crown Commercial Service). It is expected to expire around April 2029. Supply teachers, teaching assistants, SEN and non-teaching temporary and permanent staff for schools, academies and colleges. Delivered with YPO, ESPO and NEPO.

When does it re-tender?

The current term is expected to end around April 2029. The re-tender competition typically opens in the months before that date, so the practical window to prepare a bid is roughly July 2028 onward. It was awarded April 2026 for a 3-year term.

Replaces RM6238 (STaTS). Effectively the default route for academies from September 2026.

How to prepare a bid

A re-tender asks for the same building blocks every time. Have these ready before the notice publishes, most take weeks to assemble:

• Cyber Essentials, and Cyber Essentials Plus if the framework requires it
• Up-to-date insurances (employer, public and professional indemnity)
• Financial evidence: your latest accounts and turnover figures
• Two or three case studies mapped to this framework's scope
• Core policies: equality, health and safety, data protection
• A capacity statement showing you can deliver at the required volume
• Temporary-labour compliance: IR35 status, umbrella and payroll arrangements
• Safer-recruitment and safeguarding evidence for education settings
• DBS checks, professional registration and a safeguarding policy
• Confirm the exact re-tender dates against the source notice; frameworks are frequently extended.

Start a trial to follow this framework and be alerted before the window opens.
