UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured temporary recruitment services for a Lead Planning Officer. The requirement was to provide a temporary officer to support the council’s planning function for a six-month assignment. This is a personnel supply and temporary staffing service rather than a permanent appointment or a construction project. The council is based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. The work is associated with the United Kingdom, and the selected supplier is a London-based recruitment business. The requirement would suit agencies specialising in public-sector recruitment, planning and development professionals, or the supply of temporary staff for local government functions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The contract value is £36,000 excluding VAT, or £43,200 including VAT. The award is active and was made to The Oyster Partnership Limited. The published outcome identifies temporary staff supply as the service category. The award record does not state a separate award date or evaluation weighting, so the available outcome is based on the completed procurement and the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Dacorum Borough Council for temporary planning leadership supplied through a specialist recruitment route. A credible competitor for similar work would need access to suitably experienced Lead Planning Officers, the ability to verify their professional fit and availability, and the capacity to place an interim resource into a council planning function. Relevant strengths include a track record in temporary public-sector recruitment, knowledge of planning and development roles, and reliable candidate management through an assignment. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a focused specialist agency can satisfy this type of requirement without being a large national provider.
