What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
HEART Academies Trust, supported by Value Match Services, intends to undertake preliminary market engagement in connection with the first reopening of the Framework to Provide Supply Agency Staff Services.
The framework provides eligible education-sector contracting authorities with access to temporary, fixed-term and permanent teaching and non-teaching staff. It comprises the following lots:
Lot 1 - Direct Provision
Lot 2 - Master Vendor
Lot 3 - Neutral Vendor
The engagement will provide suppliers with an overview of the framework, the reopening process, the anticipated procurement timetable and the requirements for participating. Suppliers will also have an opportunity to raise questions and provide feedback ahead of publication of the tender notice.
Engagement sessions
Three one-hour online sessions will be held via Microsoft Teams:
8 October 2026, 10.00 am-11.00 am
20 October 2026, 10.00 am-11.00 am
27 October 2026, 11.00 am-12 noon
Each session will cover the same information and suppliers need only attend one session.
Suppliers wishing to participate should contact procurement@heartacademiestrust.co.uk, confirming their preferred session.
Participation is voluntary and is not a condition of tendering. Suppliers that participate will not receive an advantage over those that do not. Relevant information and non-confidential responses arising from the engagement will be made available as part of the tender process.
The preliminary market engagement will close at 12 noon on 27 October 2026. The tender notice is expected to be published on 30 October 2026.
