Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council, located in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, UK, has completed a procurement process for Facilities Management Services through a two-stage competitive Restricted Procedure. This procurement falls under the Building and facilities management services category and aims to deliver a comprehensive range of hard and soft facilities management services at the Forum in Hemel Hempstead. The procurement method used was selective, as detailed under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, amended by the EU Exit Regulations 2020. The contract, valued at £6,650,000, was awarded to Ascot Services Limited on 15 May 2025, following the conclusion of the tendering phase that ended on 11 November 2024.

This facilities management contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in building installations, cleaning, security, and repair services to enhance their portfolio with a long-term and potentially renewable agreement. Companies with expertise in comprehensive facilities management are well-suited to compete, given the requirement to handle varied elements such as planning, scheduling, and administration support. Ideal candidates would include SMEs with a strong track record in building and facilities management services. The opportunity spans a contract period from September 2025 to September 2030, with a possible extension of up to two more years, offering scope for sustained business growth and strategic partnerships within the regional authority's procurement framework.
