Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Oldham Council is currently conducting a procurement process for the provision of a Statutory Funeral Service, which falls under the category of Other community, social, and personal services. The tender, identified as OLDH001-DN290298-33041378, is set to close on 11th August 2017, and the service will be available for funerals that the Council is statutorily obliged to provide as per the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that families without means to pay for a funeral can still provide a proper send-off for their deceased, with the contract period commencing on 1st September 2017 and lasting until 31st August 2019. The estimated value of the contract is £40,000, and it will be executed through a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The services are to be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents significant potential for local service providers, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), looking to expand their operations in the funeral services sector. Businesses that specialise in funeral services, including those offering cremation, burial, or funeral arrangements, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender could not only contribute to a reputable service but also foster relationships within the community by catering to grieving families' needs during difficult times.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of a Statutory Funeral Service (with Municipal Provision)

Notice Description

The Service specifies those funerals that the Purchaser has a statutory duty to provide under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 (Statutory Funerals only) where there are no surviving family members, relatives or any other person who might reasonably be expected to arrange and pay for the funeral, or where no estate exists from which to recover funeral costs. The Provider will render his or her contract directly to the Purchaser. It is the duty of the Purchaser to make any arrangements to recover funeral costs from the estate of the deceased, where this is practicable. The Service will also be open to anyone who has to arrange the funeral for a deceased resident of the Borough, who is to be buried at one of the Borough's Cemeteries or Cremated at Hollinwood Crematorium. In these circumstances the Provider will render his or her account directly to the customer (a family member, relative or anyone arranging and paying for the funeral) without going through Purchaser.
