⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR AGENCIES SUPPLYING SCHOOLS THROUGH VALUE MATCH’S MSS

The MSS route is a temporary measure, introduced by Value Match to allow agencies that are not on the GCA’s RM6376 framework to supply until they can get onto Value Match's Heart Academies Trust Framework. I have received absolute confirmation from Value Match that agencies currently supplying through the MSS route MUST bid for, and be awarded a place on the Value Match framework when it reopens on 30th October, as the MSS supply route will close by the end of the next school year .

If you’re currently supplying through Value Match’s MSS, securing a place on the framework at the next opening needs to be a priority. Several of my clients were previously unclear about this, and believed their MSS arrangements provided contracts that would continue for 2-3 years. If you are making the same assumption, this could leave you exposed if you fail to secure a place on Value Match Heart Academies Trust framework when it reopens.

If you currently supply through Value Match’s MSS and would like to discuss what this means for your agency, or need advice on the next steps, please get in touch for a no obligation chat.
