Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "CPU 6605 Transportation of Bodies" is initiated by Nottingham City Council, a regional authority in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The focus is on procuring services related to funeral and related tasks, specifically the transportation of bodies for HM Coroner. The primary procurement method is open, following an open procedure. Key dates include the tender period ending on 19th December 2024 and the contract signing on 20th December 2024, with services commencing on 2nd January 2025 and running until 31st December 2028. The procurement is covered by the GPA, and the tender submission was conducted electronically.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for providers in the funeral services industry, ideally those capable of offering high-quality and efficient transportation services.

Small to medium enterprises, as evidenced by awarded contracts to SMEs like A.W.
