Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has initiated a Market Sounding Exercise regarding the procurement of Funeral Services within the services industry category. This process aims to gather market feedback to inform potential future contractual arrangements. Stakeholders are invited to complete a questionnaire to provide feedback on the proposed procurement approach. Key dates include the publication date of 23rd July 2024 and a deadline of 16th August 2024. The exercise covers multiple locations, including the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other international regions. The procurement stage is currently in the 'Tender' phase.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to influence and potentially benefit from future contractual arrangements with a major city council. Companies specializing in funeral services are well-suited to participate, providing valuable insights that could shape the final procurement process. Participation now could position businesses favourably for subsequent opportunities, leading to growth in market presence and establishing key relationships with a significant public sector entity.
