UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the "Publication of Press Notices for our Planning Applications," fulfilling a statutory requirement. The procurement was conducted under a direct method, falling below the competition threshold, which led to the award of the contract on 10th March 2026. This contract, active from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, involves the supply of goods within the publication sector, with an awarded value of £74,674.08 net. The key supplier for this procurement is Iconic Media Group, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in London. The contract is specifically aimed at addressing needs within the UKH2 region. The process was solidified without competition, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in publication services for planning applications.

The streamlined procurement method hints at potential future opportunities for direct engagement, especially for SMEs seeking to establish themselves within the local government sector.
