## Summary

The London Borough of Bromley is currently overseeing a tender for Public Health Funeral Services within the South East region of the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and is being conducted using an open procedure. The tender period concluded on 25th November 2019, with the contract now active, having commenced on 3rd February 2020 and set to run until 2nd February 2025. The estimated value of the contract is £190,000, with a minimum value of £140,000. The contract aims to ensure funeral arrangements for deceased individuals who lack any existing provisions or support.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in funeral services and related support. Given the nature of public health funerals, businesses that offer compassionate, efficient, and economical funeral services would be particularly well-suited to compete. With an average of sixteen public health funerals assigned annually, albeit with potential variability, successful bidders will have the chance to grow their business within the vital public health sector while fulfilling a governmental responsibility in the community.

## Notice

The London Borough of Bromley is seeking a Supplier to provide Public Health Funeral Services. The Council has a statutory obligation to carry out funeral arrangement for a person who dies in the community, within the borough of Bromley, where there is no arrangement in place, or where the deceased does not have anybody willing or able to undertake the funeral arrangements. A public funeral can be arranged for a deceased person with savings or other assets that amount to less than the cost of a benchmarked funeral. The Council averages sixteen (16) Public Health Funerals each year, but this can vary upwards or downwards and the Council cannot guarantee the number of funerals ordered each year. The Council will only pay the Provider for each individual funeral that is delivered in accordance with the Contract requirements.
