Summary of the contracting process

North Tyneside Council has concluded the procurement for "Funeral Services 2025" under the category of funeral services (CPV: 98371000). This contracting process is now at the award stage. The contract was awarded on 17 January 2025 and will run from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2029. This open procedure has resulted in the appointment of Funeral Services Ltd T/A Co-op Funeralcare as the supplier, with an estimated contract value of £61,600 GBP. The procurement aims to provide funeral services across the United Kingdom, particularly for those service users under the care of the Appointee & Deputyship Team and the Court of Protection who require assistance managing their finances and arranging funerals.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for SMEs specializing in funeral services to engage with public sector contracts and expand their market presence. The contract involves catering to both 'Contract Funerals' funded by the authority and 'Standard Cost Funerals,' funded from the deceased's assets but facilitated by the council. Businesses experienced in providing compassionate, professional funeral services would be well-suited to compete in such tenders, given the essential nature of the services and the guaranteed demand over the contract period.
