Summary of the contracting process

Boston Borough Council commissioned urgent works to fully reline the cremator at Boston Crematorium. This is specialist crematorium construction and maintenance work, classified under CPV 45215000. The work is at Boston Crematorium in Boston, Lincolnshire. The requirement is focused on renewing the cremator lining rather than general building work, so it is most relevant to contractors experienced in cremation equipment, refractory linings or comparable high-temperature industrial installations. The contract is managed for the council with procurement support from Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Environmental Combustion Technologies Limited. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 31 October to 28 November 2026. Its value is £91,403.41 excluding VAT, or £109,684.09 including VAT. The procurement was structured as one lot, which is complete. The awarded contract is active. The available procurement details identify the urgent cremator reline as the requirement; no separate evaluation basis is described.

This award demonstrates demand from Boston Borough Council for urgent, specialist cremator reline work. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show the technical capability to carry out a full cremator lining renewal and deliver the work within a tightly scheduled operational window. Experience with crematoria and high-temperature refractory systems would be directly relevant, supported by evidence of safe, reliable installation and the capacity to mobilise promptly. The council used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so suppliers should understand that the route may differ from an openly competed tender. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this specialist works requirement was delivered by a smaller business.
