Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Public Health Funerals, a service that fulfils legal obligations under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. This direct procurement, classified under services, was undertaken without competition due to its below-threshold status. Located in Newport, United Kingdom (UKJ34 region), the contract was awarded to Weaver Brothers Ltd, with the service delivery period from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2028, and potential extensions up to 2030. The gross contract value is £130,896, and it was formalised on 3rd March 2026.

This contract represents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in funeral services and related industries. Given the nature of public health funerals, businesses capable of providing sensitive and respectful services for deceased persons requiring council intervention will find this contract relevant. The inclusion of a renewal option also provides long-term business growth prospects for service providers within this sector.
