UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the "Interim Head of Neighbourhood Services", which was initiated to fill a vacant position after an unsuccessful recruitment attempt. This procurement, categorised under the services industry, involved a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The contract was awarded to SOLACE IN BUSINESS LTD and focuses on supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The location for service delivery is in the UKH2 region of the United Kingdom, with the contract active from 14th July 2025 until 24th December 2025. The overall gross contract value is £84,168.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialised in providing temporary staffing solutions, particularly those that can supply personnel for local government roles. Companies with expertise in human resource services or those serving the public sector can benefit greatly from such contracts. Although this contract was directly awarded, it highlights the prospects for similar future procurements requiring niche staffing solutions, opening doors for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in this sector. Such contracts can help businesses strengthen their portfolio and establish long-term relationships with local authorities like Dacorum Borough Council.
