The category spans a lot more than teaching contracts. It covers school building and refurbishment work, boiler and fire-safety upgrades, catering and cleaning, home-to-school and SEND transport, agency staffing, and software, library and publishing licences bought by colleges and universities. Department for Education construction projects and local authority school-estate work make up a large share of what is currently live.

Yes. Multi-academy trusts and buying organisations such as ESPO run frameworks covering outsourced catering, cleaning and inclusion services, and local authorities run frameworks for SEND transport and alternative provision. 44% of suppliers surveyed by Stotles say frameworks are their main route into public sector work, so these are worth tracking even outside an open tender.
