Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Mortuary Transfers" was conducted by the Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust. The process, which took place in the UK region of Prescot, focused on providing a Mortuary Transfer Service between hospital sites. Classified under the services industry category, this open competition tender reached its award stage on 21st October 2025, with Barringtons Funeral Services Ltd being awarded the contract. The total contract value amounts to £111,941 GBP, and the contract period is set from 4th November 2025 to 3rd November 2028, with a potential extension of two years. This below-threshold tender allowed for an open procurement method, encouraging diverse participation from businesses.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for business growth, especially for companies specialising in goods-transport services with driver hire.
