Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is planning to procure funeral services, with a total contract value of £120,000 over a period of two years. This contract aims to facilitate the arrangement of funerals for approximately 50 adults and 60 children/babies per year, in cases where families are unable to make funding arrangements. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the anticipated contract start date set for 1st January 2018 and an end date of 31st December 2020. Interested parties should note that a future notice is expected on 1st July 2017.

This tender presents a viable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in funeral services and related logistics, especially those well-versed in managing sensitive circumstances. Businesses that can provide comprehensive funeral arrangements and have the capacity to transport remains between facilities would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Moreover, the scope of services may appeal to organisations with a solid understanding of the local community's needs, making it an ideal prospect for growth in this niche market.
