Summary of the contracting process

Kingston Upon Hull City Council has awarded contracts through its tender process for Bereavement Services, encompassing multiple lots such as coffins, nameplates/plaques, memorial benches, and memorial items. This procurement falls within the funeral supplies industry and is governed by RFQ PA 2023, an open procedure featuring both technical and quality elements. The contracts are anticipated to begin in February 2026 and span three years, concluding in February 2029, with an estimated annual value for goods totalling £50,000 per annum. The procurement stage has progressed from planning and tender to award, with JC Walwyn & Sons Limited, Falon Nameplates Limited, Streetmaster (South Wales) Limited, and Odlings Limited being selected as suppliers, each receiving respective lots. The process was conducted below the threshold through open competition.

This tender offers promising opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in funeral supplies and related goods. Engaging in the supply of bereavement products to Kingston Upon Hull City Council can bolster business growth, providing steady contracts over a three-year period. Companies with expertise in manufacturing items such as coffins, plaques, memorial benches, and other bereavement-related products are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Participation not only fosters business expansion but also establishes long-term relationships with public authorities, potentially leading to further procurement opportunities within the sub-central government sector. The focus on SME suitability indicates an accommodating environment for smaller enterprises aiming to break into or expand their role in public sector contracts.
