Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council has completed a procurement process to secure the continued services of an Interim Assistant Director of Property Services, awarding the contract to Tile Hill Interim & Executive Limited. This procurement falls under the General Management Consultancy Services category, and it aims to maintain strategic oversight during a period of significant organisational change and delivery risk. The procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication of a competition call, due to the necessity of extending the interim arrangement to ensure service stability. The service is required in the Borough of Dacorum, and the contract value is £707,000, signed on 26th June 2026. The decision to forego a typical public tender was influenced by a lack of suitable candidates from previous national recruitment efforts.

This procurement represents a strategic opportunity for businesses within the consultancy sector, particularly those specialising in high-level management roles within local government. Organisations capable of offering stability and oversight during transitional periods will find this contract aligns well with their services. The contract duration until 31st March 2026 offers a sustained engagement, which can enable businesses to establish a significant presence and reputation within the public sector. This can be a fruitful prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Tile Hill, which has demonstrated the capability to manage high-risk, strategically significant activities within the government sector. Businesses seeking to collaborate with regional authorities can potentially leverage this kind of engagement to grow their portfolio and credibility.

Provision of an Interim Assistant Director of Property Services

Notice Description

The Council intends to award a contract extension to Tile Hill for the continued provision of interim Assistant Director of Property Services support until 31st March 2026.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The supply of a interim Assistant Director of Property. The current Assistant Director of Property is a well-established and critical member of the Housing Senior Leadership Team (HSLT). Whilst the focus of the role has evolved to reflect current organisational priorities, the requirement for senior programme leadership, oversight and delivery assurance across a portfolio of high-risk and strategically significant activity remains. Continuity in this role is essential to maintain strategic oversight during a period of significant organisational change and delivery risk.

Procurement Information

The current Assistant Director of Property is a well-established and critical member of the Housing Senior Leadership Team (HSLT). Whilst the focus of the role has evolved to reflect current organisational priorities, the requirement for senior programme leadership, oversight and delivery assurance across a portfolio of high-risk and strategically significant activity remains. Continuity in this role is essential to maintain strategic oversight during a period of significant organisational change and delivery risk. Despite 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.
