The Stour Academy Trust Provision of Supply Agency Services

The proposed contracts will be for the provision of supply agency services to the Trust where cover cannot be provided in-house. The service is intended to provide access to safe, compliant and good quality agency workers when required, while supporting the Trust's objectives of continuity of provision, safeguarding compliance, operational flexibility and value for money. The Trust predominantly requires short-term supply cover where absence or operational need cannot be covered in-house. There may also be occasions where longer-term supply cover is required, including to support extended absence, vacancy cover or continuity of provision.
