## Summary

Salford City Council is seeking a partnership with a funeral director for the "Provision of a Salford Resident Funeral Service", focusing on providing a low-cost all-inclusive funeral package. This procurement, classified under the "Other community, social and personal services" category with a total contract value of £495,000, is currently in the Award stage. The contract period is set to commence on 1st October 2020 and will run until 30th September 2025. The initial tender period was open until 27th July 2020 and was conducted using an open procurement method.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the funeral service industry to expand their business by partnering with local authorities. Companies that can provide comprehensive funeral services, including collection of the deceased, competitive pricing, and the provision of necessary arrangements for cremations or burials, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this tender could allow funeral service providers to enhance their community presence and build long-term relationships with municipal organisations.

## Notice

Salford City Council are looking for a partnership with a funeral director to provide a low cost all-inclusive funeral package that covers the cremation or burial cost, collection of the deceased (from within the borough), the use of the funeral director's chapel of rest, the funeral directors services of arranging and supervising the funeral, a hearse and one following limousine, a suitable oak (or similar) finished coffin with engraved nameplate, interior and appropriate handles, the Doctor fees and the cost for the clergy of your choice for the crematorium or grave side service. But ultimately a service which when viewed by the average bystander is not noticeably different from that provided by other funeral directors.
