Denbighshire Corporate Plan and 2050 Vision

Denbighshire County Council is seeking expressions of interest to help us understand what the market can offer regarding support with community and stakeholder engagement for the development of our next Corporate Plan which will cover the period 2028 to 2033 and a longer-term vision for Denbighshire looking ahead to 2050.

Please note that we do not guarantee that this exercise will result in any procurement exercise. For any procurements undertaken, this PME process will help us as we consider our options. These options may include but are not limited to:-

Our Corporate Plan sets out what we want to achieve for the people and communities of Denbighshire over the next 5 years. This Plan meets both our aspirations and obligations under the Well-being of Future Generations Act and the Equality Act and captures our key performance functions for the purposes of The Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021. A key element in the development of the plan is community engagement so that residents and other stakeholders feel confident the plan reflects their priorities.

The Council aims to develop and communicate a long-term vision for Denbighshire (looking ahead to 2050 and beyond) that reflects the aspirations and realities of its communities. The process must build trust across diverse community groups and strengthen democratic engagement, particularly reaching those who are underrepresented or have lost confidence in public institutions.

We are interested in hearing from organisations who can support us with this as further detailed below (Please note that the dates are provisional and subject to change):-
