PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract for the refractory re-brick of 2 Cremators at Mortonhall Crematorium through a limited procurement procedure. The contract, worth £135,268.00 GBP, was signed on 15th September 2022. The re-bricking is urgently required due to serious issues identified with the cremators. The Council identified the need for this specialised service as only a few suppliers have the necessary expertise in this niche market sector. The procurement process was tailored to the specific requirements of the original suppliers and installers of the cremators.

This opportunity for business growth targets suppliers with expertise in servicing and maintaining specific cremators, as the required refractory bricks are manufacturer-specific. Businesses with experience in this specialised field and a deep understanding of cremator technology would be well-suited to compete in this contract. The specialised nature of the work limits the pool of potential suppliers, creating opportunities for those with a history of servicing similar cremators. The contract has already been awarded, emphasising the need for proactive engagement with future similar opportunities in this market sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Refractory re-brick of 2 Cremators at Mortonhall Crematorium

Notice Description

The bricks in 2 of the FTL cremators at Mortonhall Crematorium have reached the end of their service life. Potentially serious issues have been identified and therefore re-bricking is now urgently required.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The bricks in 2 of the FTL cremators at Mortonhall Crematorium have reached the end of their service life. Potentially serious issues have been identified and therefore re-bricking is now urgently required.. For technical reasons, it was deemed necessary to award this contract in respect of the required re-bricking service directly to the original suppliers and installers of the cremator, FTL.

Procurement Information

This is a very specialised / niche market sector with limited numbers of active suppliers. From past experience we know that these suppliers are generally only prepared to service and maintain cremators which they themselves originally manufactured and installed. This is because the type of bricks required are specific to each manufacturer's cremators and therefore only available from the original manufacturer. Additionally, again from past experience, alternative suppliers tend not to have the necessary specialised knowledge and understanding of cremators supplied and installed by their competitors.
