UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the services of a Planning Officer. This process, initiated to address a large planning application, involved contracting a temporary planning officer familiar with the council’s systems. The procurement falls under the services category and was executed below threshold with an unknown method. The contract, signed on 14 July 2025, runs from 14 July 2025 to 16 November 2025, with a gross value of £32,400. The contract was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd, a large supplier based in New Malden, Surrey, and the service will be delivered in the UKH2 region.

Companies with experience in staffing public authorities or with personnel familiar with planning processes could find prospects for growth in similar government contracts.
