## Summary

The public procurement process involves Harlow District Council as the buying organisation, seeking to arrange Public Health Funerals under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. This contract, classified under environmental services, is currently in the award stage, having been completed and awarded to Daniel Robinson & Sons. The contract is set to begin on 1 October 2021 and will run for 24 months, with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. The tender period closed on 10 August 2021, and this opportunity was available in the East of England region of the United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £990 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the funeral services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in public service contracts and expand their market reach. Companies with expertise in environmental services and those specialising in funerals would be particularly well-suited to compete for future similar contracts, enhancing their capabilities to meet the needs of the local council and fulfilling their obligations under public health regulations.

## Notice

Harlow Council has a duty under the provisions of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 (Section 46) to arrange for the disposal of persons who die within its boundaries, where it appears to the Council that no suitable funeral arrangements can be made. The contract shall have a duration of twenty-four months commencing on 1 October 2021 with an option, at the sole discretion of the Council, to extend the contract for a period not exceeding twenty-four months.
