This contract involves providing Public Health Funeral Services for Adult Social Care Services within the North West region of England, specifically in Salford. The procurement followed an open procedure and involved a value of £320,000. The contract period is from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2027. This process has moved to the award stage as of 21st November 2024, and details of the contract award were published on 26th November 2024. This tender opens business opportunities for suppliers specialising in funeral and related services, particularly those able to manage the logistics and financial aspects of both public health and private funerals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for such tenders, given the local and statutory nature of the services required. The successful delivery of this contract can lead to strengthened relationships with public health organisations and potentially more local authority-based contracts in the future. ## Notice Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a single Supplier to provide Public Health Funeral Services for Adult Social Care Services. Salford City Council has a statutory obligation to carry out funeral arrangements for a person who dies in the community, within the borough of Salford, where there is no arrangement in place, or where the deceased does not have anybody willing or able to undertake the funeral arrangements. This statutory obligation is delegated from Salford City Council to the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. The contract will also extend to arranging private funerals in circumstances where a suitable individual has been identified but there is a need to financially bridge the arrangements for the funeral whilst individuals access the estate or application/ award of DWP Funeral Expenses. The Authority cannot guarantee the number of funerals arranged each year however oversight of the previous contract volume is contained within the tender documents.
