Summary of the contracting process

Stafford Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a Framework Agreement centred around Memorial Supplies and Services, involving three lots across Tixall Road Cemetery, Eccleshall Road Cemetery, and Stone Cemetery within Stafford Borough. The procurement, concluded through an open method, was awarded to EMERYS MONUMENTAL SERVICES LIMITED and ODLINGS LIMITED. The awarded contracts began on 13th April 2026, with an initial two-year duration and options for renewal extending to 2030. The procurement's main category is services, specifically focusing on funeral supplies and services, aimed at supporting memorial activities within the designated areas under the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in funeral and memorial services, offering a stable financial commitment across multiple years. Businesses that can supply inscribed memorial plaques and provide ancillary services such as additional inscriptions or the re-gilding of existing plaques are particularly well-suited for this opportunity. The framework also ensures continuity and stability for businesses capable of meeting the specified dimensions, material qualities, and colour requirements for the memorial items. The collaborative model without the need for reopening competition upon renewals further supports a consistent and predictable partnership with the council, benefiting businesses looking to solidify or expand their presence in the memorial services sector.
