Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council is seeking tenders for the provision of burial, cremation, and ancillary services under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. This requirement arises because the Council is statutorily obliged to arrange funerals for individuals who have passed away without suitable arrangements made by relatives or friends. The contract is valued at £125,000 and will commence on 1st August 2019, lasting for an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for two additional years. Interested suppliers were required to express their interest by 15:00 on 25th June 2019, with submissions due by 14:00 on 26th June 2019. The services will be rendered in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the funeral and related services sector, particularly for those with experience in providing sensitive and compassionate support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Companies that offer comprehensive funeral services and have the capacity to handle arrangements for deceased individuals without familial support will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.
