## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of Emergency Mortuary Services in response to Covid-19 is being conducted by Hampshire County Council. This tender, titled "Covid 19 Response - Provision of Emergency Mortuary Services - Southampton," falls within the goods industry category, specifically dealing with mortuary equipment and supplies. The contract will be operational from 3rd April 2020 to 2nd October 2020, following an expedited evaluation process due to the urgency of the situation. The tender was completed on 1st April 2020 after the competitive negotiation procedure was deemed necessary to establish a temporary mortuary facility at Southampton Airport without prior publication.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mortuary services and related equipment, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses with the capability to deliver emergency response services efficiently and effectively are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The urgent nature of the service required suggests that companies can leverage their agility to respond rapidly to the needs of Hampshire County Council, thereby potentially enhancing their market position and fostering growth during a critical period.

## Notice

COVID-19 is deemed by public health officials and the World Health Organisation to be serious and its consequences pose a risk to life. The current unprecedented situation the UK is facing relating to the Covid-19 virus means that urgent responses are required in order to be able to react accordingly. Hampshire County Council will be setting up a designated area at Southampton Airport for a temporary Mortuary. Due to the rapid spread of the Covid 19 virus, this facility will need to be operational within a couple of days, meaning a competitive procurement procedure is not feasible to be undertaken. Any delay in the operational set up of the facility will undermine the County council's Integrity, affects its reputation and may provide risk to residents in Hampshire and beyond.
