## Summary

Leicester City Council is seeking a service provider for an "Out of Hours Burial Service" under an open procurement method. The total contract value is set at £100,000 and the tender period is open until 14th April 2021. The contract duration will begin on 1st July 2021 and expire on 30th June 2024. The contract entails managing burial arrangements outside the Council's normal hours, ensuring referrals for regular hours are redirected appropriately. This contract falls under the "Other community, social and personal services" category and is located in Leicester, England.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for service providers in the funeral and burial industry, particularly those equipped to handle sensitive arrangements outside typical operating hours. Companies offering services in logistics, bereavement counselling, or the supply of funeral materials would be well-positioned to compete. Such contracts not only help expand service offerings but also enhance community support during challenging times, potentially leading to further engagements with local authorities.

## Notice

This contract relates to services to arrange Out of Hours Burials. All bookings for burials that can be arranged during the Council's Normal Hours must be arranged through the Bereavement Services office. The Service Provider must ensure that it does not undertake services in relation to any burial which can be arranged during the Council's Normal Hours and must refer the Funeral Arranger to the Council's Bereavement Services. All interments regardless of date or time will be conducted by the Council.
