## Summary

The North Somerset Council is seeking a funeral director to provide public health funerals as part of its statutory duty to arrange funerals when no one else is available to make such arrangements. The contract, valued at £336,000, is for a period of five years, starting from 1 September 2019, with an option for a two-year extension. The procurement method is an open procedure, and tender documents were made available from 12 June 2019, with the tender period closing on 17 July 2019. This opportunity falls under the services category, specifically classified under funeral and related services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the funeral services sector, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are capable of providing suitable funeral arrangements in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The successful contractor will establish a long-term relationship with the local authority, potentially leading to further contracts as needs arise. Companies with experience in providing compassionate and professional funeral services would be well-suited to compete for this public contract.

## Notice

North Somerset Council has a statutory duty to provide suitable funeral arrangements for persons who have died in the District in cases where no-one is prepared to make the funeral arrangements. The council is therefore seeking a funeral director, or similar, to provide this service on its behalf from 1 September 2019. The contract is for five years, with the potential for a two-year extension. Tender documents will be available on the Supplying The South West online portal (www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk) for suppliers to download and complete from 12 June 2019.
