Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council procured the supply and installation of two electric cremators at Grimsby Crematorium. This is a goods requirement focused on cremation equipment, with the associated production and installation work. The equipment is classified as cremators (CPV 42350000). Delivery and activity are linked to Grimsby, in North East Lincolnshire, and the requirement is for the council’s crematorium service. The procurement concerns a single requirement covering both cremators rather than separate described service packages. It is relevant to manufacturers, specialist equipment suppliers and installation providers with experience in electric cremation systems and the operational requirements of crematoria.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. North East Lincolnshire Borough Council selected DFW Europe BV, a Netherlands-based SME, on the stated basis that it was the only supplier in the market able to provide electric cremators with maintenance. The award date was 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £1,676,400 excluding VAT, or £2,011,680 including VAT. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 October 2027. There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. The award is recorded as pending, with contract signature scheduled for 16 July 2026. The procurement is above the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for electric cremation equipment, including production, installation and maintenance, from North East Lincolnshire Borough Council. A credible future competitor would need to supply complete electric cremator systems and support their installation at a working crematorium, rather than provide general construction or unrelated equipment. The procurement rationale indicates that the council considered the market highly specialised, so evidence of an established product offering and the ability to provide ongoing maintenance would be important. The single-lot structure also indicates that the buyer sought one supplier able to take responsibility for the complete requirement. Smaller specialist businesses may be relevant, since the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.
