Summary of the contracting process

Alliance Norse Ltd, with Norse Commercial Services Ltd carrying out the procurement, commissioned works for the extension of Buxton Cemetery on Ashbourne Road, Buxton. The scope covers construction of a new access roadway and pathways, cemetery landscaping and other cemetery-related works, together with fencing and associated works. This is a construction and civil engineering requirement focused on preparing and improving cemetery infrastructure, access and boundaries. The work is relevant to contractors with experience in cemetery construction, access roads, footpaths, landscaping and fencing. The buyer is based in Norwich, while the project delivery location is Buxton. The requirement was structured as a single package covering the full cemetery extension works rather than separate specialist packages.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Six bids reached the final stage, including five from SMEs. P.M. Harris Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026 for £187,410.57 excluding VAT (£224,892.68 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 28 September to 7 December 2026. The original estimated value was £370,000 excluding VAT (£444,000 including VAT), with the contract award below that estimate. The tender’s enquiry deadline was 30 June 2026 and bid deadline was 29 July 2026. Evaluation weighted total price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from Alliance Norse Ltd for contractors able to deliver cemetery extension and related civil engineering works through an open competition. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in access road and footpath construction, cemetery landscaping, fencing and associated site works, with the capacity to coordinate these elements as one package. Experience of working in cemetery environments and around operational or sensitive public-facing sites would strengthen a competitor’s position, alongside reliable project planning, site management and quality control. The evaluation shows that price is important, but quality and social value together account for a substantial part of the assessment. The participation of five SME bidders indicates that smaller contractors can compete for this type of requirement.
