    Brief

    Maidstone Borough Council is seeking a qualified organisation to design and deliver an independent deliberative engagement process for the Park Wood & Senacre Pride in Place Programme. This is not a traditional consultation but a structured process to establish community mandate for a 10-year neighbourhood improvement plan. Pride in Place is a UK Government initiative providing £20 million investment over ten years, shifting from short-term reactive interventions to sustained, community-led governance. The successful provider will facilitate a robust, representative process enabling residents to engage with evidence, deliberate priorities, and develop shared principles. The engagement will establish the foundational evidence base for a Neighbourhood Board comprising residents and stakeholders. This Board will oversee the 10-Year Plan and Investment Strategy across three core pillars: Building Thriving Places, Strengthening Communities, and Taking Back Control. The deliverables include establishing representative community voice, articulating shared values and long-term priorities, and producing an actionable roadmap to guide governance decisions. Contract start date: 7 May 2026.
