Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Interim Head of Legal Services and Data Monitoring Officer 2026" by Dartford Borough Council falls under the public authority in the sub-central government category in the United Kingdom. Located at the Civic Centre, Home Gardens, Dartford, the council engaged in a direct procurement method, which was below the threshold and executed without competition. This service contract, valued at £80,000 net (£96,000 gross), was awarded to Vivid Resourcing, an SME based in London. The contract commenced on the 1st of February 2026 and concluded on the 27th of June 2026, covering the full range of legal duties and data monitoring responsibilities for the council. The procurement stage reached completion, culminating with a contract signing on the 24th of November 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those with the capability to deliver comprehensive legal and data monitoring functions within a governmental context. SMEs with a background in legal services can particularly benefit from engaging in this domain, given the direct procurement method that favours smaller enterprises. The contract not only highlights the potential for expanding market presence within public sector clients but also underscores the importance of delivering high-quality, integrated legal services that support operational effectiveness in governmental agencies. Businesses adept in strategic legal oversight and data management are well-positioned to thrive and leverage similar opportunities in the public sector.
