Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, covers the 'Deceased Patient Transport' service across West Yorkshire, including Kirklees and Calderdale. This falls under the services category and was conducted using a direct procurement method due to the contract being below threshold, resulting in a lack of competition. The procurement was initiated on 17th July 2026, with the contract awarded to Pearson Funeral Service, based in Huddersfield. The contract, valued at £72,400 (excluding VAT), started on the award date and will end on 30th September 2027. The procurement stage has reached completion, and the contract is now active, following the legal framework provided by the UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in cadaver transport and storage services, particularly those equipped for road transport services as specified by the CPV codes 33940000 and 60100000. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Pearson Funeral Service are ideally placed to benefit from such contracts, given their ability to provide specialised, localised services, which can help them establish a strong foothold in public sector opportunities. Business growth can be achieved by aligning services and capabilities with the specific requirements of public authorities, particularly in sub-central government structures like Bradford's.
