## Summary

The CROYDON COUNCIL has completed the procurement process for "Urgent Cemetery Memorial Safety Checks" in the industry category of Miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. The procurement method used was direct with a Single tender action (below threshold). The contract has a value of £50,000 and covers regions such as London and South East. The tender period ended on 1st July 2024, with the contract period starting on 15th July 2024 and ending on 14th July 2025.

This tender by the CROYDON COUNCIL presents opportunities for SMEs in the services sector looking to engage in maintenance services. Businesses involved in safety checks and maintenance programmes are well-suited to compete for this contract. The urgent need for memorial safety checks creates an immediate business opportunity for companies capable of addressing health and safety non-conformities, which is crucial for meeting statutory obligations and ensuring a safe environment in cemeteries.

## Notice

Direct award The memorial safety programme covering both Mitcham Road and Queens Road Cemeteries has lapsed since Covid- 19. There are approximately 30,000 memorials across both sites which have not been recently checked due to a shortage of staff, insufficient resources, the difficulties experienced recruiting staff and dated inefficient technology. This shortcoming has been identified as a major non-conformity in a recent H&S audit for the service. The Council and service are legally responsible should a service user or visitor be injury by an unsafe memorial which could lead to significant fines, prosecutions and negative PR for both the service and the Council. This provision is required immediately to commence the process and mitigate the current risk with a view to tendering this requirement within the next 12 months. This will ensure our statutory obligations, particularly in relation to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1984 are met for this area.
