Summary of the contracting process

The East Sussex County Council has extended its contract with C P J Field for the provision of funeral and related services on behalf of HM Coroner for East Sussex. This extension, dated 23 July 2024, is part of the ongoing procurement process in the services category under the main procurement law CELEX 32014L0024. The service, classified under CPV code 98370000, is tasked with the removal of corpses. The extension pertains to a previously awarded contract, which has been active and involved multiple lots covering UKJ22. The contract covers a span of 2160 days and has now been extended by an additional year due to unforeseen economic circumstances necessitating a price adjustment.

This extended contract provides significant business opportunities for funeral service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in or around East Sussex. Businesses that specialise in body removal and funeral services are well-suited to benefit from participating in such tenders. Given the long-term nature and the substantial value of the contract (£430,000 GBP), companies with robust service capabilities and flexibility to adapt to fluctuating economic conditions will find this an excellent prospect for sustained business growth.
