## Summary

The procurement process involves Hartlepool Borough Council, which has issued a tender titled "THE PROVISION OF FUNERAL SERVICES". This contract falls within the funeral and related services category and is located in the North East of England. The procurement stage is complete, with the tender period closing on 22nd November 2019. The awarded contract, valued at £36,000, has a duration starting from 1st December 2019 until 31st December 2022, and was awarded through a limited procurement method via competitive quotation.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in funeral services to expand their operations through public sector contracts. Organisations capable of providing sensitive and timely funeral arrangements, particularly those with experience in dealing with clients who have no immediate family, would be well-suited to compete. Given the specific nature of the service required, firms that can demonstrate a commitment to dignity and care in their operations will be favourably positioned to win similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

The Council has a statutory duty to make funeral arrangements where the deceased has no immediate family or it has not been possible to make contact with the family to organise the funeral. We therefore require the service provider to make the necessary arrangements to remove the body of a client in a timely, sanitary and sensitive manner and to arrange the funeral in accordance with the know wishes of the client, where appropriate.
