Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council has recently completed a direct procurement process for a services contract relating to Crematorium and Burials Software. The procurement, conducted under Welsh devolved regulations, involved the hosting and support for the crematorium and burials software programme. The Council engaged Gower Ltd, an SME, as the supplier for this contract. This procurement process was classified under the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. The awarded contract will commence on 1st August 2026 and run until 31st July 2029, with potential renewal for an additional two years. The contract has a gross value of £48,000, and the procurement method was direct and below threshold without competition.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering software development and consulting, given the focus on crematorium and burials software. Companies with expertise in supporting software programmes may find similar ventures beneficial as public authorities increasingly digitise their services. SMEs operating in the technology sector would be well-positioned to compete for such contracts, especially within the sub-central government category in regions like Pembrokeshire. As digital transformation continues in local government services, businesses looking for long-term service partnerships could leverage their strengths in innovation and support to enhance their competitive edge.
