## Summary

Dacorum Borough Council has finalised a procurement process for the extension of an Interim Bereavement Services Manager role for an additional six months. This contract, awarded on 1st May 2026, is valued at £72,840 gross and will last until 1st November 2026. Located in Hemel Hempstead, within the UK region of UKH2, the procurement falls under the services category, specifically supplying personnel, including temporary staff. The process employed a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. Dacorum Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, handled the tender, which has now reached the completion stage with an award made to Lee Snashfold Crematoria Management and Consultancy Ltd.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in bereavement services management and personnel supply. The specific focus on temporary management within bereavement services outlines a niche market where experienced consultancies or SMEs might find an avenue for increased business where specialised skills in cemetery consultancy and management are essential. The contract suggests potential for ongoing collaboration and further opportunities for businesses adept at managing interim positions and contributing to infrastructure improvement plans, such as cemetery enhancement projects. Given the procurement emphasis on direct awards without competition due to its below-threshold nature, the environment is ideal for SMEs that can provide swift, specialised services within the public sector framework.
