Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by Dacorum Borough Council involves the extension of a contract with Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited for the provision of an Interim Assistant Director of Property Services. This decision, effective from July 2025, aligns with the Council's need to ensure continuous leadership and service delivery across several critical programmes, including the Housing Transformation Improvement Programme and the Strategic Asset Review. The procurement falls under the "General management consultancy services" category, with activities primarily located within the Borough of Dacorum, covering regions across the UK. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, executed without prior publication, due to urgent needs and challenges in securing a permanent appointee. The contract remains active, having been signed on 14th July 2025, valued at £210,000.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing interim management services, particularly those with expertise in public sector transformations and strategic asset management. Companies that can offer experienced consultancy services and demonstrate effective leadership in overseeing large-scale municipal programmes are well-positioned to compete in such tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises, like Tile Hill, that focus on interim executive placements within local authority contexts may particularly benefit from engaging in similar procurement processes, where sector-specific experience and adaptability are crucial for success.

Notice Title

Provision of an Interim Assistant Director of Property Services

This decision is driven by the need to ensure continuity in service delivery and leadership across a number of strategic programmes.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The supply of a interim Assistant Director of Property. The current postholder is leading several key strategic programmes, including the Housing Transformation Improvement Programme (HTIP), the re procurement of the Council's Repairs and Maintenance contract, and the Strategic Asset Review. These programmes are at critical stages, and the postholder's expertise is essential to ensure continuity, compliance, and successful delivery.

Procurement Information

The current postholder is leading several key strategic programmes, including the re-procurement of the Council's Repairs and Maintenance contract, and the Strategic Asset Review. These programmes are at critical stages, and the postholder's expertise is essential to ensure continuity, compliance, and successful delivery. Despite two national recruitment campaigns, no suitable permanent candidates were identified. The local government market remains highly constrained due to sector-wide uncertainty following the Devolution White Paper. The Council has therefore determined that extending the current interim arrangement is the only viable option to maintain service stability and mitigate significant operational and reputational risks.
