Engagement process description

We are seeking to understand what is currently available in the market. We are inviting suppliers to provide a breakdown of the key features and functions their system provides. We also intend to invite suppliers to provide system demos, ideally in person.

We are seeking a fully functional, out of the box solution that requires minimal configuration to meet our operational needs. We are not looking for a development partner.

We do not guarantee that this exercise will result in a procurement exercise.

If you are able to provide a solution that covers the requirements within this notice, please email procurement@denbighshire.gov.uk with a brief overview of your solution by 12noon on 9th October 2025.
