## Summary

Dacorum Borough Council procured consultancy services to facilitate away days and workshops for its Senior Leadership Team, Corporate Leadership Team and elected Members, and to assist with Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) transition. The requirement covers facilitated sessions for senior officers and Members alongside consultancy support for managing the transition programme. It falls within project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000). The buying organisation is Dacorum Borough Council, based at The Forum, Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead. The appointed service concerns the council’s organisational development and transition activity, rather than construction, goods supply or routine administrative support. Businesses with experience combining structured facilitation with project management and organisational change support would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Changemaker Associates Limited, an SME. The award is active and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 1 April 2028. Its value is £36,606.36 excluding VAT, or £43,927.63 including VAT. The procurement used a single-lot arrangement and the contract is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the consultancy requirement covering facilitated away days and workshops for senior officers and Members, together with support for LGR transition. No competitive tender evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

This award demonstrates demand from Dacorum Borough Council for a supplier able to facilitate sensitive sessions involving senior officers and elected Members while also supporting a complex Local Government Reorganisation transition. Competitors would need credible workshop and away-day facilitation skills, the ability to work confidently with different levels of council leadership, and practical project management consultancy experience. Strong candidates would be able to turn leadership discussions into structured outcomes, manage stakeholders, and support organisational change in a public-sector setting. Experience of council governance, senior decision-making and transition programmes would help a supplier demonstrate relevance. The requirement also suits an SME consultancy able to combine hands-on facilitation with sustained programme support rather than delivering isolated training events.
