This contract, titled "Plaques and Sanctum Units for the Crematorium", falls under the goods industry category (miscellaneous furnishing), primarily involving columbarium vault plaques and memorial vase block plaques. The procurement was handled by a direct method, classified as 'below threshold - without competition', indicating a straightforward procurement without competitive bidding. The awarded contract started on 29th June 2026 and is expected to conclude by 31st March 2027, with a total gross value of £78,000. The contract has been awarded to Columbaria Company, an SME located in Hull, UK.
