Our Approach

Being appointed to RM6376 means colleges can access Think FE through a government-backed procurement framework, with the assurance that suppliers have been through the framework's selection and accreditation process.

For our college partners, this provides:

A straightforward procurement route

Colleges can appoint Think FE through the framework rather than having to establish entirely separate recruitment terms and procurement arrangements.

Pre-approved recruitment suppliers

Suppliers appointed to RM6376 have been assessed against the requirements of the framework, providing additional reassurance around the organisations colleges choose to work with. Think FE and Think Education Partners have been fully audited by the REC as a condition of joining the framework.

Temporary, fixed-term and permanent recruitment

The framework covers temporary workers as well as fixed-term and permanent appointments, allowing colleges to use Think FE across a wide range of staffing requirements.

Teaching and non-teaching roles

RM6376 covers teaching, education support and wider non-teaching positions, including areas such as administration, finance, IT, estates and other college support functions.

Clear commercial terms

The framework provides established contractual documentation and maximum supplier pricing, helping procurement teams maintain greater transparency and control over recruitment spend.

A specialist FE recruitment partner

The framework gives colleges a compliant route to access Think FE while still receiving the specialist Further Education knowledge our team is built around.
