Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council is overseeing the procurement process for Coroner Removal Services covering Liverpool and the Wirral, aligning with the classification of funeral and related services. The open procedure was initiated under legal basis CELEX 32014L0024 and is categorised as a service industry procurement. This procurement aims to facilitate the legal obligation of removing deceased individuals from the community to designated mortuaries. The process included a tender submission with a deadline on 25th March 2024 and subsequent contract awards were completed in May 2025. The services are divided into two lots, focusing on Liverpool and the Wirral, demonstrating a comprehensive geographical reach. Both lots encompass specific criteria prioritising quality, social value, and price, with contracts rewarding partners such as Walter Craven Ltd and DTS Merseyside T/A Owens Funeral Service. The procurement utilised an open method, facilitating broad competition among suppliers.

The procurement allows for electronic submissions, supporting ease of participation. Tender participants are expected to utilise unmarked vehicles and equipment suitable for various conditions. With Liverpool City Council as the contracting authority, businesses focusing on high-quality service and social value, alongside competitive pricing, are well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity. The contractual arrangement includes a renewal option, further extending business potential for companies adept at providing sensitive and high-standard removal services.
