## Summary

Harlow District Council is currently conducting a tender for "Public Health Funerals" under the environmental services category. The procurement process is at the open tender stage, with submissions due by 10 August 2021. The contract, lasting 24 months from 1 October 2021, may be extended for a further 24 months at the Council's discretion. The service address is located in the East of England, UK, and businesses are invited to provide burials and cremations as required, with an approximate demand of 1 funeral and 20 cremations per annum.

This tender presents growth opportunities for SME funeral service providers and other organisations with experience in providing burial and cremation services. The open nature of the procurement method allows for broad competition, making it suitable for businesses capable of meeting the Council's contractual requirements. Providers that can demonstrate reliability and understanding of public health obligations will be well-positioned to secure this contract.

## 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. Therefore, the Council is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced Funeral Directors willing and able to provide burials and cremations in accordance with the above. The Council is unable to guarantee either the volume or frequency of the services throughout the term of the contract but would expect approximately 1 funeral and 20 cremations per annum. This figure will fluctuate according to demand. 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.
