UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured grave liners and hydraulic shoring equipment to improve the safety of officers while digging graves. This is a goods requirement covering hydraulic installations for use in Sheffield. The equipment is associated with grave-digging operations rather than general construction or civil engineering works, so relevant businesses are specialist suppliers of hydraulic shoring systems, grave-support equipment or related burial-ground safety products. The requirement was bought for the council’s operational use, with delivery in the Sheffield area. The named procurement category is goods, and the equipment was linked to hydraulic installations under CPV 43328000. The scope centres on supplying physical equipment, rather than providing a standalone excavation, construction or cemetery management service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Sheffield City Council awarded the single lot to TELESHORE U.K. LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date and contract signing date were 5 August 2026. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 5 September 2026. Its value is £111,287.60 excluding VAT, or £133,545.12 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than a competitive tender. The outcome covers the complete requirement for grave liners hydraulic shoring, with the selected supplier responsible for the awarded goods.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Sheffield City Council for specialist grave-support and hydraulic shoring equipment, with safety for officers as the operational objective. Businesses best placed for comparable future requirements would be able to supply hydraulic shoring systems and grave liners suitable for safe grave excavation, understand the practical conditions of cemetery work, and provide equipment that meets operational safety needs. Relevant experience in supplying councils, cemeteries, burial authorities or excavation teams would help establish credibility, particularly where the supplier can show reliable delivery of specialist equipment and an understanding of safe use. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist business rather than only a large national contractor.
