This project, classified under goods and specifically in the industry of musical instruments and cremation services, is in the active tender stage. The tender period is set to close on 12th March 2018, with the contract expected to commence from 3rd April 2018 and run until 2nd April 2023. Interested suppliers are encouraged to conduct an on-site visit and must submit their tenders in accordance with the outlined specifications. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audio-visual systems, particularly those experienced in integrations with existing technologies or systems in public venues. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for this project, as the procurement process seeks innovative solutions compatible with the current equipment and future webcast systems. With competitive bidding, businesses can enhance their portfolios and establish long-term working relationships with local governmental entities. ## Notice Worcester Bereavement Service ,Worcester Crematorium, Astwood Cemetery, Worcester WR3 8HA carries out on average 2000 cremations per year. The crematorium was opened in 1960 and is a single chapel facility seating approximately 100 and standing room of 40 in the chapel with speakers & a screen available for outside, if the service cannot be totally accommodated within the chapel itself. The current music system works from an adapted PC desktop system loaded with the operating software and music libraries together with remote triggering devices. Funeral directors are able to request music not stored on the system by contacting the current music provider prior to their requirements by phone or online. The requested track is then delivered electronically to our system. There are no plans to replace the current amplifier or speaker system and any equipment must therefore be compatible with the existing equipment. The Council is looking to add a Webcast system at a later date so the new music system will need to be able to integrate and work with a future Webcast system. Potential Suppliers are required to carry out an on site visit and create their own plan of the chapel by prior appointment before submitting tenders. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/374f666d-3621-4553-aa2a-0cebefbb158f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 12 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2018 - 2 Apr 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WORCESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | WORCESTER | | Post town | Worcester | | Postcode | WR1 2EY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG1 Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire | | ITL 3 | TLG12 Worcestershire CC | | Local authority | Worcester | | Electoral ward | Cathedral | | Westminster constituency | Worcester | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 37000000 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 98371100 - Cemetery services and cremation services ## Release History - 23 Feb 2018 at 13:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/374f666d-3621-4553-aa2a-0cebefbb158f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/374f666d-3621-4553-aa2a-0cebefbb158f 23rd February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.worcester.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
