Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council is currently in the award stage of the procurement process for the "Community Funeral Provision 2017" contract, which falls under the category of funeral and related services. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, invites tenders for funeral and burial services to meet the Council's statutory duties under the Public Health Act 1984, which requires local authorities to arrange for the disposal of deceased bodies when necessary. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2017 and will run until 31st March 2020, with potential extensions available. The relevant location for service delivery is Portsmouth, Hampshire, within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 15th February 2017.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses within the funeral service industry, especially those with the capacity to handle around 35 funerals per year and demonstrate flexibility in scheduling to meet the Council's requirements. Firms focusing on undertaking services, cemetery services, or funeral supplies will be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful bidder will not only gain a vital public contract but also establish a relationship with the local authority that could lead to further engagements in community funeral services.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Community Funeral Provision 2017 - AWARD

Notice Description

Portsmouth City Council is inviting tenders from suitably qualified funeral directors to deliver funeral andburial services. Under Section 46 of the Public Health Act 1984 Local Authorities have a statutory duty tomake arrangements for the disposal of a deceased's body if it appears to the local authority that no suitable arrangements have been made. The Authority arranges approximately 35 funerals per year and is looking to appoint one provider who could meet all our requirements. All deceased bodies will be buried unless instructed otherwise. The timing of the funerals will be at the discretion of the Authority and the successful provider will therefore need to be flexible. This contract will start on the 01.04.2017 and will continue until the 31.03.2020 with an option to extend for two further one year periods depending on a satisfactory performance. All values are indicative only as the Authority can not guarantee future levels of work required under this contract.
