## Summary

The Northampton Borough Council is seeking tenders for Funeral Services, with the contract opening on 1st August 2017 and lasting an initial period of three years, with a possible one-year extension. The deadline for submitting completed Invitations to Tender (ITTs) is set for 12:00 noon on 14th June 2017. This opportunity falls within the services category, specifically classified under the CPV code 98370000 for Funeral and related services, taking place in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is being conducted via an open procedure, with a total contract value of £125,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in funeral services, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with experience in managing burial and cremation arrangements would be well-suited to apply, as the contracting authority expects high-quality service provision in accordance with a detailed specification.

## Notice

Northampton Borough Council have a legal duty to arrange the burial or cremation of any person who has died within our area where it appears to the authority that no suitable arrangements for the disposal of the body have been made. We are seeking a Provider to carry out the work required to arrange such burials or cremations as outlined in the specification. The service will be required from 1st August 2017 for an initial period of 3 years with an option to extend for a further period of up to 1 year, taking the total contract term to a maximum of 4 years. Any extension will be agreed between the Council and the provider. The Authority believes that TUPE does not apply to this contract at its commencement. The detailed requirements are defined in the Specification. The deadline for completed ITTs to be received on the LGSS eTendering Portal is 12:00noon on Wednesday 14th June 2017.
