Summary of the contracting process

Falkirk Council procured building works to extend and alter the existing facilities at Falkirk Crematorium, creating a visitor hub and office accommodation. The work covered one package of extension and alteration works, rather than separate lots. It was delivered at the crematorium in Falkirk. The requirement is for a construction contractor able to work on an existing building and deliver both visitor-facing space and office accommodation. The procurement is relevant to firms with experience in building extensions and alterations, including the coordination of construction work within an operational public facility. Falkirk Council was the buyer and managed the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Falkirk Council used an open procedure. The single package attracted 12 bids, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award went to Emtec Property Services Limited. The estimated package value was £300,000; the signed contract value is £342,628.26. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026. Its stated period is 150 days. Bids were due on 29 June 2026, and were required in English. Evaluation was based on suitability criteria set out in the procurement documents; the available summary does not give their detail. Variants were not permitted, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline.

For construction firms, this award demonstrates demand from Falkirk Council for refurbishment and extension work at a public crematorium, including the creation of visitor and office facilities. A future competitor would need to show that it can deliver building alterations and additions to an existing structure, with the practical capability to manage the work as a coherent package rather than as separate specialist lots. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and all 12 bidders were SMEs, indicating that businesses of this scale competed for the requirement. The strongest fit is a contractor with relevant building-work experience, capacity to coordinate the construction activities, and evidence meeting the buyer’s suitability criteria. The procurement documents formed the basis for those criteria and for evaluation.
