This tender falls within the services industry category and is classified under cadaver transport and storage equipment and supplies (CPV code 33940000). The tender is currently in the active stage, with completed Invitations to Tender (ITTs) due by 12:00 noon on 17th May 2017. The service is expected to commence on 1st July 2017, running for an initial three-year period with a potential extension of up to one year. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses involved in transportation and logistics, particularly those specialising in healthcare provision, temporary storage solutions, or mortuary services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as the Buyer is open to proposals that can cover the whole designated area. Companies that can demonstrate capability in both logistics and compliance with health and safety regulations will be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Provider is required to undertake the movement of bodies from the place of death to the specified hospital mortuary / funeral home on the direction of a Police Officer (or other person authorised by the HM Coroner). At times the Provider will be required to arrange the movement and storage of bodies prior to transportation to a designated hospital mortuary and should therefore have the appropriate storage facilities. The County will be divided into four geographical areas encompassing the 7 district and borough areas, but please note this Tender exercise is for Lots 1 and 3 only - please see map for full details. Providers can apply to cover any area/Lot (providing they can cover the whole area) or may apply for both Lots by ticking the relevant box(es) within the Tender questionnaire. The service will be required from 1st July 2017 for an initial period of 3 years (up to 31st June 2020) with an option to extend for a further period of up to 1 year, taking the total contract term to a maximum of 4 years. Any extension will be agreed between the Council and the providers. The Authority believes that TUPE does not apply to this contract at its commencement. The detailed requirements are defined in the Specification. The deadline for completed ITTs to be received on the LGSS eTendering Portal is 12:00noon on Wednesday 17th May 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/514046bd-2b81-49f7-8991-8b0c51f6548e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | 17 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2017 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £164,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FIRST FOR WELLBEING | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN4 7YD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Nene Valley | | Westminster constituency | Northampton South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33940000 - Cadaver transport and storage equipment and supplies ## Release History - 2 May 2017 at 19:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/514046bd-2b81-49f7-8991-8b0c51f6548e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/514046bd-2b81-49f7-8991-8b0c51f6548e 2nd May 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
