Located in Warrington, North West England, the procurement is currently complete, having passed through the tender stage, with the award date on April 16, 2020. The contract period is set to run from April 18, 2020, to October 31, 2020, and directly addresses an urgent requirement for temporary mortuary facilities to support the local government's efforts to manage excess deaths during this crisis.
