Bennett Staff is delighted to announce that we have been successfully appointed as an approved provider on the Value Match Supply Agency Framework.

Our appointment gives schools, academies and other public-sector organisations a straightforward and fully compliant way to access Bennett Staff’s trusted recruitment services.

For more than 65 years, Bennett Staff has connected dependable local people with local organisations. Becoming an approved framework provider is an important recognition of the standards, experience and value we bring to every placement.

What is the Value Match Supply Agency Framework?

The Value Match framework provides public-sector buyers with access to recruitment agencies that have already undergone a robust assessment process, and is now recognised by the DfE as an alternative to the newly established GCA framework for supply and temporary staffing/recruitment.

Rather than beginning a complete procurement exercise every time temporary staffing support is required, participating organisations can use the framework to appoint an approved provider through an established and compliant route.

For schools and public-sector organisations, this can make purchasing recruitment services:

Simpler and more efficient
Fully procurement compliant, in line with DfE and the GCA mandate
Transparent and accountable
Competitively priced
Easier to manage and document

Bennett Staff’s appointment means buyers can access our recruitment expertise with the reassurance that we have satisfied the framework’s required standards.

Competitive rates without compromising quality

Budgets across education and the wider public sector remain under considerable pressure. Organisations need to secure reliable staff while demonstrating that public money is being spent responsibly.

Bennett Staff’s framework rates are lower than the GCA rate caps. This provides buyers with a competitively priced staffing option while retaining the personal service and robust recruitment standards for which Bennett Staff is known.

Our approach is not simply about filling a vacancy at the lowest possible cost. It is about achieving genuine value: supplying suitable people, reducing disruption and building dependable working relationships.

Local recruitment expertise since 1958

Bennett Staff is a genuinely local and independent recruitment agency. From our base in Hyde, we understand the communities, employers and candidates across Tameside, Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas.

Our experienced consultants recruit for temporary and permanent positions across a range of services, including:

Administration & finance
Industrial and manufacturing
Cleaning and facilities
Catering and hospitality
Office and commercial support

This local knowledge helps us identify candidates who possess the required skills and are realistically placed to reach the assignment reliably.

A strong commitment to compliance

Compliance is central to every placement we make. Our recruitment processes are designed to ensure that candidates are properly screened and that the necessary checks are completed for the position and working environment concerned.

Framework users benefit from the reassurance of working with an assessed provider, supported by clear terms, transparent rates and an established procurement process.

Where a temporary worker completes the relevant qualifying period, Bennett Staff does not impose a transfer fee after 12 weeks. This gives organisations greater flexibility when a placement develops into a suitable longer-term appointment.

A simpler route to trusted local staff

Our appointment to the Value Match Supply Agency Framework combines the security of an approved procurement route with the responsiveness and personal attention of a long-established local agency.

If your school or organisation needs temporary, permanent or longer-term staffing support, the Bennett Staff team is ready to help.

Local people, matched to local work – now available through the Value Match Supply Agency Framework.
