## Summary

Dacorum Borough Council procured temporary principal litigation lawyer services for its work in Hemel Hempstead, with the requirement delivered in the council’s area. The contract covers the provision of a senior legal professional on a temporary basis for a defined 13-month assignment. This is a professional services requirement focused on principal-level litigation capability rather than general legal administration or wider legal support. The procurement was for one service requirement, managed by Dacorum Borough Council as the public-sector buyer. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include specialist legal staffing providers, legal recruitment firms and organisations able to supply experienced litigation lawyers for temporary public-sector assignments.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly below the applicable threshold without competition. Dacorum Borough Council awarded the requirement to Vivid Resourcing on 30 April 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 18 May 2026 to 14 June 2027. Its value is £87,912 excluding VAT, or £105,494.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract remains active. The procurement used a single lot, which is complete. The evaluation route was a direct award without competition, under the stated below-threshold procedure, rather than an open competitive tender. The selected supplier is Vivid Resourcing.

This award demonstrates demand from Dacorum Borough Council for temporary, senior litigation expertise supplied through a public-sector resourcing route. Competitors would need credible access to principal-level litigation lawyers and the ability to place an appropriately experienced professional into a council environment for a substantial assignment. A relevant supplier profile would combine legal-sector knowledge with dependable temporary staffing or recruitment capability, including the ability to identify, vet and support senior candidates. Legal recruitment businesses and specialist resourcing providers are therefore best placed to pursue comparable requirements from this buyer. The direct, below-threshold route also shows that a supplier needs to be visible and able to respond efficiently to a clearly defined temporary legal staffing need.
