Under the title "PURCH2312 Provision of Contract Agreement for Pet Cremation Services", the process falls within the services industry category and is positioned in the Glasgow area (UKM82). The process, conducted using an open procurement method, initially began in the active tender stage with a deadline in November 2023. The service to be delivered spans two years, with an option for two additional 12-month extensions.

Firms with capabilities in providing high-quality, compassionate care and who hold necessary local authority authorisations are particularly well-suited to compete in this sector.
