## Summary

The procurement process titled "CO0138 Temporary Storage Facility for Coroner Services" is conducted by Essex County Council, located in Chelmsford, UK. This open tender, which falls under the 'Funeral supplies' category, aims to add approximately 100 new storage spaces to assist with the anticipated pressures on the death management system in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The deadline for submitting tenders is 25th October 2021, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 8th November 2021 and will last for one year, ending on 7th November 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in funeral supplies and related services. Companies capable of providing temporary storage solutions, particularly those understanding the unique challenges faced by the funeral services sector during peak demands, would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their agility and tailored service offerings in response to the emerging needs outlined by the contracting authority.

## Notice

It is expected that over the next three years the death management system, which already experiences winter pressures from flu and other pressures, will be heightened due to Covid-19 as we learn to live with the variants and the knock-on effect from closing services down to stop the spread that was experienced in the first and second wave. ECC would like to put a contract in place that can be used at short notice to add additional storage to the system at times of Excess Death. The contract will be to add close to 100 new spaces (90 - 110 would be acceptable) to the system.
