## Summary

The North East Lincolnshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Bespoke Bereavement Service Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC)." This initiative aims to explore new concepts for providing bespoke bereavement services within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England. Key activities include a market consultation via a questionnaire, which is open until the engagement end date of 8th March 2021. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" and seeks to ascertain interest and accessibility in delivering these services through a concession contract.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with a local authority seeking innovative solutions. The bespoke nature of the bereavement services allows businesses in related sectors—such as funeral services, health services, and community support—to showcase their offerings and contribute to a vital social service. Companies participating in this consultation could influence the future delivery of these services, creating pathways for growth and collaboration with the local authority.
