Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking tenders for the provision of Public Funeral Services, with a focus on funeral arrangements across several constituencies in Bradford. This open procurement process is currently active and will conclude on 8th August 2017. The contract is valued at £350,000 and will be operational from 29th September 2017 until 28th September 2020. The successful bidder must demonstrate capability in delivering funeral services in the Yorkshire and the Humber region and should be prepared to manage an estimated annual requirement of up to 70 funerals.

This tender presents significant opportunities for funeral service providers, particularly those who can offer flexibility and comprehensive care for the deceased and their families. Businesses that specialise in funeral and related services, including cremation and burial options, would be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the Bradford Council is actively seeking qualified and experienced Funeral Directors to fulfil this essential community service.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Public Funeral Services

Notice Description

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (the "Council") is one of the largest Metropolitan Councils in the country and covers a wide area including the towns of Bingley, Ilkley, Keighley and Shipley. This contract applies to funeral arrangements for:- * Bradford South Constituency * Bradford North Constituency * Bradford West Constituency * Shipley Constituency * Keighley Constituency The Council has an obligation to arrange funeral services under Section 46 Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, on behalf of people who are not willing or able themselves. Therefore the Council is seeking tender submissions from suitably qualified and experienced Funeral Directors. The Council normally arranges up to 70 funerals per year which can be either burials or cremations depending on the requests of the deceased and their families. This number is not guaranteed but is a genuine estimate of the Council's requirements each year. We are looking for a sole Undertaker who could meet all our requirements. The timing of the funerals will be at the discretion of the Council and the successful provider will therefore need to be as flexible as possible.
