This contracting process is now at the award stage. The contract was awarded on 17 January 2025 and will run from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2029. This open procedure has resulted in the appointment of Funeral Services Ltd T/A Co-op Funeralcare as the supplier, with an estimated contract value of £61,600 GBP. The procurement aims to provide funeral services across the United Kingdom, particularly for those service users under the care of the Appointee & Deputyship Team and the Court of Protection who require assistance managing their finances and arranging funerals. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for SMEs specializing in funeral services to engage with public sector contracts and expand their market presence. The contract involves catering to both 'Contract Funerals' funded by the authority and 'Standard Cost Funerals,' funded from the deceased's assets but facilitated by the council. Businesses experienced in providing compassionate, professional funeral services would be well-suited to compete in such tenders, given the essential nature of the services and the guaranteed demand over the contract period. ## Notice The Authority wishes to appoint a suitably experienced and professional Funeral Director or Funeral Service provider (The Contractor) The Authority currently provides services via the Appointee & Deputyship (A&D) Team for those service users who lack mental capacity to deal with their own finances and have no other person to act on their behalf. There are two types of scenarios where the Authority arranges Funerals and the Authority has a statutory requirement to arrange both these types of Funerals and ensure the deceased are cremated or buried whilst including any end of life wishes. The two types of Funerals are identified as A and B below: - A. 'Contract Funeral' These funerals are funded by the Authority. The deceased have no financial assets and no relatives whom can fund/arrange a funeral on their behalf. B. 'Standard Cost Funeral' (or full cost funeral). These funerals are funded from the Assets of the Deceased; however, the invoice must be approved by the Authority prior to the Authority passing the invoice to the Deceased's bank for payment. This may be either by acting as appointee for benefits (as directed by the Secretary of State) or for those service users where the Office of the Public Guardian via the Court of Protection directs.
