## Summary

St Helens Borough Council is currently planning a procurement process for a Partnership Funeral Service Agreement, with an estimated budget of £300,000. This initiative is aimed at engaging funeral directors in the region of St Helens, United Kingdom. Expressions of interest are being sought from potential providers, and interested parties should register on The Chest portal for further opportunities. The contract is projected to commence on 19 July 2022 and will run until 30 June 2025, with a future notice set for publication on 8 June 2022.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for funeral service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). By participating, businesses can establish valuable partnerships and increase their service offerings to bereaved clients. The successful contractors will play a crucial role in supporting the Council's statutory duties related to funeral services, making it an appealing venture for firms in the community and personal services sectors.
