## Summary

Flintshire County Council is commissioning external consultancy services to develop a comprehensive Economic Strategy for Flintshire. The strategy will set the area’s economic priorities, guide investment decisions and shape partnership activity over the following 10 years. It must reflect Flintshire’s distinctive national and regional economic character, align with national and regional programmes, address cross-border opportunities, and support sustainable and inclusive growth for local residents and businesses. The requirement covers economic research and development consultancy, business and management consultancy, and project management consultancy services. Delivery is in Flintshire, Wales. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies able to combine economic analysis, strategic development and stakeholder or partnership work into a practical long-term economic strategy for a local authority area.

The procurement reached tender: Flintshire County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 17 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 24 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the SupplierLive Proactis portal. The requirement is one lot, with an estimated value of £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 9 April 2027, with a possible three-week extension to 30 April 2027. Offers are evaluated on quality at 80% and price at 20%. The strategy must support decisions and partnership activity over a 10-year period, although the commissioned contract is shorter.

This opportunity suits specialist economic development and management consultancies with experience of producing evidence-based strategies for public-sector or place-based organisations. Strong candidates will be able to research and interpret Flintshire’s national and regional economic position, identify cross-border opportunities, and translate findings into clear priorities for investment and partnership activity. The work also calls for strategic project management and the ability to engage with, or reflect the interests of, residents, businesses and partner organisations while addressing sustainable and inclusive growth. A consultancy combining economic analysis, business strategy, stakeholder engagement and delivery planning is well placed to compete. It may also suit a consortium or team bringing together complementary research, economic development and project management expertise.
