Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured works to build brick graves, prepare and seal pre-built burial vaults, and carry out general memorial installation requests. The requirement covers construction and associated memorial works for the council’s cemeteries and related sites in Peterborough. It is a works contract rather than a supply-only or routine professional services requirement. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is a small business. Businesses with experience in brick grave construction, burial-vault preparation and sealing, cemetery construction, and memorial installation would be relevant to this requirement. The work involves responding to varied memorial and burial-related requests rather than delivering a single defined construction project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. Peterborough City Council awarded the contract to A M Strickland Builders on 20 July 2026. The award value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. One lot was awarded. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than an open competition, so there was no competitive tender stage for suppliers to participate in. A contract signature was scheduled for 15 September 2026. The award is active and the procurement has not been cancelled or terminated.

This award provides a clear indication of Peterborough City Council’s demand for specialist cemetery and memorial construction services at small-business scale. A future competitor would need practical capability in building brick graves, preparing and sealing pre-built vaults, and handling general memorial installation requests across the council’s sites. Relevant experience should include safe, precise work in cemetery environments, sound brickwork and construction methods, and the ability to respond to different burial and memorial requirements under one service arrangement. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local or regional building contractor rather than only by a large national construction business. Suppliers tracking this buyer should be prepared to demonstrate reliable delivery across varied works and suitable capacity for a recurring operational service.
