Summary of the contracting process

Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council commissioned construction works to extend Stratfield Mortimer Cemetery and build a memorial wall. The contractor’s work covered the labour, materials, plant and equipment needed to carry out the Council’s specification and drawings, including associated groundworks and finishing. This is a civil construction requirement focused on cemetery infrastructure and memorial provision, rather than a general building project. The site is in Stratfield Mortimer, near Reading. The scope was procured as a single package, with the cemetery extension and memorial wall forming one contract. It is relevant to contractors experienced in cemetery construction or comparable civil works, including ground preparation, installation and finishing on a defined site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to White Horse Contractors Ltd. The Council used a below-threshold procurement route. The contract was signed on 25 February 2025 and runs from 25 February 2025 to 7 June 2026. Its value is £98,274.34 excluding VAT (£117,929.21 including VAT). The award records the work as cemetery construction. The contract covers one package for the cemetery extension and memorial wall. The available procurement information does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed eligibility conditions, so the award basis cannot be described beyond the recorded procurement route and the fact that this supplier was selected. The contract is recorded as active.

This award shows that Stratfield Mortimer Parish Council buys small, site-specific cemetery construction combining groundworks, a memorial structure and finishing. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the practical ability to deliver an integrated works package, coordinating labour, materials, plant and equipment against drawings and a council specification. Relevant experience would include preparing cemetery land, carrying out associated groundworks, constructing extensions and completing memorial walls to a finished standard. The project is a single-site requirement of modest construction scale, so a contractor able to manage the full scope and work efficiently on a local site would be well placed. The successful supplier’s selection provides evidence that a construction contractor, rather than a specialist memorial-only provider, can meet this buyer’s combined requirement.
