Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon is procuring services for the "Collection of Deceased and Delivery to Mortuaries for the South London Coroners Service and Public Health Funerals" through an open tender process. The contracts for these services, running from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2030, are divided into three lots covering different boroughs, namely Croydon, Sutton, Bexley, and Bromley. The procurement falls under the industry category of public services, specifically funeral and related services, and covers multiple regions including UKI51, UKI61, UKI62, and UKI63. This tender process, which progressed from initiation to contract signing by 2026, reflects the commitment of the borough to fulfilling statutory duties under the Public Health Act.

This tender presents significant opportunities for funeral directors and transportation providers, particularly those with experience in managing sensitive public service functions. Businesses with a capacity for handling logistical operations, equipped with trained staff, appropriate vehicles, and a strong understanding of public sector compliance, would be well-suited to compete for these contracts. Given the scale and scope of the contracts, participating in such tenders can enhance business portfolios, strengthen brand presence in the public sector, and provide stable, long-term service opportunities. SMEs, in particular, have been notably successful in the bidding process, making this an ideal opportunity for smaller, well-managed enterprises to expand their market share within municipal government contracts.

Notice Title

Collection of Deceased and Delivery to Mortuaries for the South London Coroners Service and Public Health Funerals

Notice Description

The London Borough of Croydon issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the following two contracts that will run from the 1st October 2025 to the 30th September 2030: Coroners Body Removals for the South London coroner jurisdiction comprising the London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Croydon and Sutton The coroner is a special judge who investigates unnatural or violent deaths, where the cause of death is unknown, or because the death took place in prison, police custody or another type of state detention, such as a mental health hospital. The investigation may include an inquest hearing. The coroner's role is to find out who died and how, when and where they died. In some cases, it is necessary to hold a post mortem examination to find out the cause of death. If the deceased died in the community the body must be transported to the coroner's mortuary for the post mortem examination, or transferred to a specialist post mortem facility and this contract provides for this service. There are two lots: Lot 1 (West - Croydon and Sutton): to collect deceased in the community, or from hospital and transport to either Croydon University Hospital or Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough. Lot 2 (East - Bexley and Bromley): to collect deceased in the community, or from hospital and transport to St Helier Hospital, Carshalton, Surrey. Public Health Funerals Lot 3: The Council has a statutory duty under the provisions of Section 46 of the Public Health (Control of Disease ) Act 1984 to undertake the funeral of a deceased person, who died in the Borough and where no other arrangements have been made or are about to be made.
