Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the temporary recruitment of an Assistant Director for Safe Communities & Housing Operations, located in Hemel Hempstead. This procurement falls under the services industry category with a focus on personnel supply services, including temporary staff. The procurement process followed a direct method without competition, as it was below a specified threshold. This contract, starting on 2nd July 2025 and ending on 31st August 2025, was awarded to JAMES ANDREWS RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS LTD. The contract was signed and became active on 2nd July 2025, with a gross contract value of £96,000.

This tender provides significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in recruitment services, particularly those experienced in public sector staffing solutions. As the procurement method was direct and uncompetitive, businesses with strong relationships in the public sector or niche expertise in providing temporary executive-level personnel are well-positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities. The involvement of JAMES ANDREWS RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS LTD, a Leicester-based SME, underscores the potential for smaller enterprises to secure high-value contracts in local government recruitment without needing to compete in a lengthy tendering process.
