## Summary

The Oldham Council has initiated a tender for the provision of a Statutory Funeral Service with a total contract value of £75,000. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on funeral and related services, classified under the CPV code 98370000. The tender was published on 17 August 2020, with the submission deadline set for 7 September 2020. The contract is expected to start on 5 October 2020 and will run until 5 October 2023, primarily serving the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is being conducted through an open procedure, inviting all interested parties to submit their proposals.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in funeral services, particularly those that align with statutory requirements, to expand their offerings. Companies that operate in the funeral industry, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), could greatly benefit from this contract, especially those equipped to handle the specific needs associated with statutory funerals as mandated by the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. Participating in this procurement not only enhances visibility within the sector but also positions these businesses to build long-term relationships with the Oldham Council and potentially secure future contracts.

## Notice

The Service specifies those funerals that the Council has a statutory duty to provide under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 (Statutory Funerals only) where there are no surviving family members, relatives or any other person who might reasonably be expected to arrange and pay for the funeral, or where no estate exists from which to recover funeral costs. The Provider will render his or her contract directly to the Purchaser. It is the duty of the Purchaser to make any arrangements to recover funeral costs from the estate of the deceased, where this is practicable.
