Crown Commercial Services (CCS)
The DfE and CCS developed a framework specifically designed for schools, to enables them to recruit Teachers, Teaching assistants and all Educational Support Staff, at the best value and with the assurance that all necessary compliance processes are adhered to. MCE are proud to have been 1 of the 103 successful agencies to secure a place on the CCS framework; to be awarded a place MCE had to undergo a comprehensive tender process, during which background checks were conducted, and evidence collected to certify that we can appropriately support clients, are accurately vetting candidates and could demonstrate our commitment to meeting the requirements of schools and candidates.
