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

• Confirm the exact re-tender dates against the source notice, frameworks are frequently extended.
• Get your accreditations in order early: Cyber Essentials, insurances, financial evidence and relevant policies are commonly required and take weeks to assemble.
• Prepare case studies mapped to this framework's scope (CPV codes below) so your response is ready when the tender opens.
• Set an alert now so you're notified the moment the contract notice publishes, rather than discovering it mid-window.
