## Summary

The Luton Council is seeking suppliers for a three-year contract to provide concrete burial chambers, essential for funeral services under the 'Funeral and related services' category. This procurement is currently at the Award stage, having been published on 29th March 2021, and the contract runs from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2024. The overall contract value is £95,000, with a minimum order valued at £90,000. Interested suppliers should note that the ordering process includes delivery to The Vale Crematorium in Luton, with specific requirements for chamber dimensions and weight to accommodate lifting capabilities.

This contract presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the manufacturing and supply of funeral-related goods, especially those capable of supplying heavy-duty concrete products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Companies with experience in delivering goods with strict specifications and quick turnaround times will be particularly well-suited for this tender, which will facilitate business growth through consistent orders over the contract duration.

## Notice

We require a three-year contract for concrete burial chambers that surround a body or casket when placed in the ground. We currently order between 50 and 90 chambers a year. The chambers must have four sides, an interlocking lid and must be bottomless. Our current external dimensions are 8ft x 3.8ft x 2ft and our current internal dimensions are 7.6ft x 3ft x 2ft.The current weight of the chamber is 420kg and this weight cannot be exceeded due to lifting capacity at our crematorium. We will order the chambers via PO emailed to the supplier unless the order is urgent in which case the crematorium manager can chose to order by phone. The chambers will then be delivered to our storage area at The Vale Crematorium in Luton within 48 hours of ordering unless otherwise agreed.
