UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council engaged a service-charge specialist to support its housing service. The work covers preparing service charges for tenants and leaseholders, mapping land and reviewing leases so charges are apportioned correctly, and advising on service-charge processes and legislation, including Section 20 requirements. The specialist is also expected to work with the council’s MRI system and lead implementation of a newly purchased service-charge module. The role includes engaging with tenants and leaseholders, attending open-day events, and turning complex financial information into clear recommendations. Delivery is in the Dacorum area of Hertfordshire. This is specialist professional support combining housing finance, lease analysis, system implementation and resident engagement, rather than a general staffing requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Vivid Resourcing, a division of G2V Recruitment Group Limited. Dacorum Borough Council used a direct award without competition, under the below-threshold route. The single lot was awarded as a services contract. The award is active, and the contract is also active; it was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 9 November 2026 to 9 March 2027. Its value is £49,500 excluding VAT and £59,400 including VAT. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or a comparative award basis; the recorded route was a direct award without competition. The contract covers the specialist service-charge support described, including advice and implementation assistance for the council’s housing service.

For a supplier considering similar future work for Dacorum Borough Council, credibility rests on a closely matched combination of housing service-charge expertise and practical delivery. A strong competitor would be able to prepare and explain charges for both tenants and leaseholders, map land and scrutinise leases to check apportionment, and apply detailed knowledge of Section 20 processes and legislation. Experience with MRI and the ability to lead implementation of a service-charge module would be directly relevant, alongside the capacity to engage residents and attend open-day events. The requirement also values clear written advice: suppliers need to turn complex financial material into concise recommendations that council staff and residents can understand. This is a focused specialist assignment, requiring an individual or team able to combine technical financial and lease knowledge with system implementation and public-facing communication.
