Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council, located in London, is currently engaged in a tender process for the provision of Local Disaster Mortuary Services, notably within the works industry category. The procurement aims to establish a contingency contract following the conclusion of the current four-year contract later this year. This tender is classified under the assembly and erection of prefabricated structures and has an estimated value of £260,000. The tender submission deadline is set for 9th August 2021, with the contract period extending up to four years, and an option for a one-year extension at the council's discretion. Interested parties must ensure they can mobilise necessary facilities within a 24-36 hour notice period to augment the existing mortuary capabilities when required.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary structure provision, emergency response services, and project management. Companies well-suited to compete will have the requisite expertise in delivering rapid response solutions, including initial site investigations, construction design, and the installation of essential infrastructure. Given the unpredictable activation of disaster mortuary services, businesses that are flexible, well-equipped, and efficiently can adhere to tight timelines will have a competitive edge in this unique procurement opportunity.
