UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Slough Borough Council initiated a procurement process for the installation of cemetery plinths at Slough Cemetery, Stoke Road, Slough, SL2 5AX. This contract falls under the industry category of cemetery works and operates within the region of South East England (UKJ11). The procurement method involved an open competition below the threshold, allowing for electronic submissions. The tender process was active with a submission deadline on 30th January 2026, and the contract was expected to start on 2nd March 2026, with work completed by 2nd June 2026. However, the tender was cancelled as prices exceeded the budget on 3rd February 2026, according to the cancellation notice dated 17th March 2026.

Despite the cancellation, such tenders offer growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cemetery and architectural stonework. Companies with experience in such works, particularly those skilled in managing costs effectively, are well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. This particular tender specified a balanced emphasis on price and quality, with 50% weight on each, thereby benefiting firms that can deliver high-quality work at competitive prices. Businesses familiar with public authority contracts and those adept at adapting to potential renewals or extensions due to unforeseen circumstances are likely to thrive in this procurement environment.
