## Summary

The Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust is currently in the award stage for a tender titled "Funeral Services," which is classified under the industry category of funeral and related services, with a total contract value of £90,000. The procurement method selected is a direct single tender action for services below the threshold. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2018 and will run for three years, concluding on 31st August 2021. The tender originally invited expressions of interest until 23rd April 2018, as noted in the overview provided by the Trust's Category Manager, Daryl Read.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in funeral services to expand their business with a reputable NHS trust. Interested suppliers must register on the Trust's e-tendering portal and prepare for the upcoming invitation to tender. Furthermore, businesses capable of providing high-quality funeral services or related products are particularly encouraged to participate, given the projected aggregate spend over the last three years and the scale of the contract.

## Notice

I am writing with regard to the above tender in which we are inviting expressions of interest and would ask any parties interested to express their interest on the Trusts e-tendering portal at www.supplying2nhs.org noting that if you have not already registered on this system you will need to undertake that first and then express your interest. An overview of the service is attached in draft format, although we are expecting no changes prior to the next stage, which will be the 'Invitation to Tender'. The aggregated spend on this contract over the last three year period is approximately PS90,000. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me directly, but please note we are looking for expressions only at this stage, the tender documents will be released in full, at the next stage which is expected to be w/c 7th May 2018. Yours sincerely, Daryl Read MCIPS Category Manager - Non Clinical Products & Services Tel: 01604 523922 Email: daryl.read@ngh.nhs.uk
