This procurement falls under the open procedure (below threshold) and is currently in the tender stage. The contract will be located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, and the framework aims to create a pool of high-quality local providers. The deadline for tender submissions has been extended to 12:00 on 7th February 2025, with the contract period starting on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2029. The total value of the contract is £88,000. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies with experience in funeral services and other related sectors. Organisations that are well-established and capable of demonstrating quality service delivery will find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. Although it is open to all, the framework is not specifically designed for SMEs or VCSEs, making it an attractive proposition for larger or more established businesses looking to expand their service offerings within the public sector. ## Notice The council is seeking to run a procurement with suitably qualified and experienced providers, to offer their services via a Framework to the council. The Framework will help achieve a pool of high quality local funeral/coroner removal services providers. Please note: the deadline for tender submissions has been extended to 12:00 on 7th February 2025.
