UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of a Crematorium/Cemetery Information Management System to Gower Consultants Limited. This procurement falls under the services category and is conducted as a direct award below the competition threshold, without a competitive process. The contract commences on 30th March 2026 and is set for a duration of four years, with a potential two-year extension contingent upon pricing, charges, and performance. The contract value is £65,555.80 annually, totalling £78,666.96, with the council serving as the sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom's UKE11 region. The procurement is marked as complete since its award on 28th April 2026, reinforcing its legal basis under the UKPGA scheme 2023/54.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data management services, particularly those with experience in cemetery and crematorium system management. As a widely acknowledged SME, Gower Consultants Limited exemplifies the potential growth other similarly sized enterprises might achieve by participating in contracts with public authorities. The absence of competitive bidding and the defined service role of the supplier demonstrate that businesses with established service frameworks can thrive under the below-threshold procurement method. Furthermore, maintaining satisfactory performance can unlock additional opportunities through contract extensions, making it ideal for businesses aiming to expand long-term relationships with local government bodies.
