Summary of the contracting process

Flintshire County Council commissioned an external consultancy to develop a comprehensive economic strategy for Flintshire. The strategy is intended to guide the area’s economic priorities, investment decisions and partnership activity over the following decade. It must reflect Flintshire’s distinctive national and regional economic character, align with national and regional programmes, and address cross-border opportunities. Its purpose is to support sustainable and inclusive growth for residents and businesses. This is strategic economic and business management consultancy, with research and analysis as part of the work. Delivery is for Flintshire, Wales.

The procurement was awarded following an open competition below the applicable threshold. AMION Consulting Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 21 October 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £64,730 excluding VAT (£77,676 including VAT). The contract runs from 30 October 2026 to 30 April 2027, with an option to extend to 31 May 2027. The original estimated procurement value was £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). There was one lot. Evaluation weighted quality at 80% and price at 20%. The tender submission deadline was 24 September 2026, and the deadline for enquiries was 17 September 2026.

For consultancies competing when Flintshire commissions comparable economic strategy work, this award indicates demand for end-to-end strategy development that connects local economic priorities with national and regional programmes and cross-border opportunities. A credible supplier would need to demonstrate strong economic research and analysis, strategic advice, and the ability to turn evidence into practical priorities for investment and partnership working. The work calls for an understanding of sustainable and inclusive growth and of the area’s distinct economic context, with recommendations relevant to both residents and businesses. The buyer evaluated quality substantially more heavily than price, so a persuasive approach, relevant expertise and evidence of delivering comprehensive strategies are likely to matter more than a low-cost offer alone.
