DDC provides and manages its cemetery at Welford Road Daventry Northamptonshire under the provisions of the Local Authorities' Cemeteries Order 1977. The current cemetery in Welford Road, Daventry, was opened in the 1950's but is now nearing capacity, so as a matter of urgency DDC are seeking a site for a new cemetery. Some eighteen possible sites have initially been identified by officers, but these have now been reduced to twelve with some five leading sites. The elimination of potential sites was on the basis of: Lack of capacity for future expansion to provide a minimum of 50 years use Geological problems Relative remoteness from the town. Sites should ideally be within the Town Parish or if not, adjacent to the boundary. The surviving sites have been appraised on the basis of their size, DDA and Highway accessibility, ground and surface water sensitivity, underlying geology, planning and land designation. A Scoring system was devised and some five sites have been prioritised as a result. The Employer is undertaking a Public Consultation exercise in order to ascertain the preferences of the public in respect of location, with the consultation process caveated with the fact that the delivery of any particular site cannot be guaranteed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e69d08a-85bb-4492-a43b-1727b6d92c44 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Jul 2019 - 30 Nov 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DAVENTRY DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | DAVENTRY | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN11 4FP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Daventry East | | Westminster constituency | Daventry | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45215400 - Cemetery works ## Release History - 4 Jun 2019 at 15:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e69d08a-85bb-4492-a43b-1727b6d92c44 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e69d08a-85bb-4492-a43b-1727b6d92c44 4th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d1943060-da86-e911-80f7-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
