UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wealden District Council procured services for Wealden Crematorium. The requirement covers a booking system, database, and Register of Cremations and memorials, providing the operational software and information systems needed to manage crematorium bookings and maintain records of cremations and memorials. It is a services contract with software and information-technology support elements. The delivery area is in the United Kingdom. The council is a sub-central public authority based in Hailsham, East Sussex, and is the organisation responsible for the requirement. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers that provide specialist crematorium, cemetery or memorial-management software, together with the associated database, booking functionality, implementation support and ongoing technical support needed by a public-sector crematorium.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, and comprised one lot. Clear Skies Software Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 19 May 2026 and runs from 19 May 2026 to 18 May 2029, with a possible two-year extension taking the maximum period to 18 May 2031. The awarded value is £28,800 excluding VAT (£34,560 including VAT). The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active and includes a renewal option described as a two-year extension at the end of the initial three-year term.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Wealden District Council for specialist software supporting crematorium bookings, cremation and memorial registers, and the underlying database. A credible future competitor would need a dependable system designed for crematorium operations, with accurate record management and booking workflows that can support sensitive, high-volume administrative activity. Relevant capability would include software implementation, data management, information security, user support, maintenance and integration of related information systems. Suppliers with demonstrable experience delivering comparable systems to crematoria, cemeteries, local authorities or other public-sector organisations would be well placed. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large technology integrator.
