## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of a body removal service, organised by Milton Keynes City Council, has progressed to the Award stage.

Based in Milton Keynes, the procurement used an open procedure, inviting expressions of interest up until 7th January 2025, with tender submissions closing on 8th January 2025. The awarded contract to H W Mason & Sons commenced on 1st March 2025 and will continue until 28th February 2030. The offered contract amount stands at £21,600 for services within the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender period culminated in February 2025, with the award publicly announced on 29th April 2025.

This procurement opportunity can facilitate significant business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), given the open procedure that was adopted. The project scope, centered on sensitive and specialised funeral services, suggests that businesses with experience in body transportation, funeral management, or similar fields would be well-suited to deliver these services. The extended contract period presents a stable revenue stream, allowing awarded suppliers to reinforce their market presence and operational capabilities in the funeral services industry.
