Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Dacorum Borough Council involved a direct award for the "Membership Subscription 25/26 to The Housing Ombudsman Service." This process falls under the services category, specifically subscription services, and was executed in the Hemel Hempstead area, with the United Kingdom designated as the location for delivery. The process adhered to the legal basis set by the UKPGA 2023/54. The award was finalised on 25th June 2025, marking the commencement of the contract, which is set to conclude on 24th June 2026. The procurement method applied was "below threshold - without competition," and the total contract value was £95,637.30.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity particularly for enterprises involved in providing subscription-based services. While the direct award limits competition in this instance, businesses capable of offering value-added subscription services or those interested in future opportunities within the same industry could benefit from understanding the requirements and criteria that guided this process. Large-scale service providers, like the awarded supplier, The Housing Ombudsman, are well-positioned to engage effectively, but small to medium-sized businesses can explore partnerships or sub-contracting to participate in similar forthcoming public contracts. This particular procurement demonstrates the potential for consistent revenue through annual subscription agreements within the public sector.
