For multi-academy trusts, recruiting the right people has never been more important, or more complex. Alongside attracting skilled candidates in a competitive market, trusts must ensure every appointment is made safely, compliantly and in line with public procurement requirements.
For estates and facilities recruitment in particular, selecting the right recruitment partner can significantly reduce operational, financial and safeguarding risk.
At TIB Services, we're proud to be an approved supplier on the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Services Framework, giving schools and multi-academy trusts access to a specialist recruitment partner that has already undergone rigorous due diligence.
When an educational establishment needs a caretaker, site manager or estates professional urgently, there can be pressure to appoint quickly. However, speed should never come at the expense of compliance.
Common recruitment risks include:
For multi-academy trusts managing multiple schools, these risks are multiplied across every site.
Public sector procurement continues to evolve, placing greater emphasis on transparency, value for money and selecting suppliers that can demonstrate robust governance and compliance.
Using an approved procurement framework can help trusts reduce both procurement risk and administrative burden by accessing suppliers who have already been assessed against stringent commercial, financial and quality standards.
That's where the Government Commercial Agency (GCA) RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Services Framework provides real value.
TIB Services has successfully been appointed to the GCA RM6376 Framework following a comprehensive procurement process.
This means our organisation has already demonstrated:
For schools and multi-academy trusts, this provides additional confidence that they're working with a recruitment partner that has already been independently evaluated against government procurement standards.
Unlike general education recruitment agencies, TIB Services specialises exclusively in recruiting non-teaching estates and operational professionals for the education sector.
We recruit:
Because our consultants and resourcers work solely within this niche, they understand the technical skills, compliance responsibilities and personal qualities required to succeed in these critical roles.
The result is a better match between candidate and academy, reducing turnover and improving continuity across the Trust.
Every candidate supplied by TIB Services undergoes comprehensive pre-placement checks in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance.
Our compliance process includes:
This enables you to appoint with confidence, knowing candidates have been fully vetted before arriving on site.
We understand that multi-academy trusts require more than simply filling vacancies.
They need consistency across multiple environments, clear communication, reliable reporting and a recruitment partner that understands the operational pressures facing educational estates teams.
Our dedicated team works closely with trust leadership, estates teams and school leaders to provide responsive support, workforce planning and a consistent recruitment experience across every academy.
Recruitment should never be viewed simply as filling vacancies. It's about protecting pupils, supporting operational continuity and ensuring every facility has the skilled professionals it needs to provide safe, well-maintained learning environments.
By choosing a specialist recruitment provider that has also been appointed to the Government Commercial Agency Framework, multi-academy trusts can reduce procurement risk, strengthen compliance and gain access to specialist expertise tailored specifically to educational estates recruitment.
As an approved supplier on the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Services Framework, TIB Services helps schools and multi-academy trusts recruit high-quality caretakers, site managers and estates professionals through a compliant, transparent and specialist recruitment service.
