DfE Approved Status for Procurement Framework featuring HR Connect

We are delighted to announce that the Procurement Services HR Support Services Framework (Y25006), which features a range of HR Connect services, has now been awarded DfE-approved status through the Department for Education’s Get Help Buying for Schools programme.

 

Meeting DfE Standards

This approval is an important recognition that the framework meets the Department for Education’s standards for procurement compliance, ease of use, and value for money.

DfE-approved frameworks are reviewed regularly to ensure they provide schools and trusts with a straightforward, trusted route to purchasing services in compliance with procurement regulations. Feedback from schools also plays a key role in the approval process, helping to ensure that recommended frameworks deliver real benefits in practice.

 

HR Support Services Framework

Through the HR Support Services Framework (Y25006), schools, academies and trusts can access a wide range of specialist HR support, including HR administration and payroll services, HR advisory support, employee screening, staff health and wellbeing services, and total HR management solutions. The framework is designed to simplify procurement, reducing the need for lengthy tender exercises while providing access to pre-approved, high-quality suppliers.

For schools looking for a compliant and efficient way to secure trusted HR expertise, the framework offers a clear route to HR Connect’s experienced team and comprehensive service portfolio.
