## Summary

Torbay Council - Childrens Services has successfully completed the procurement process for the "1565 Torbay COVID-19 AD Facility," aimed at providing emergency collection and storage services for deceased individuals in response to Covid-19. This service falls under the funeral and related services category, with a total contract value of £1,419,968. The direct award was made in accordance with EU directive 32(c), with the procurement stage being marked as 'Award.' The contract period is set from 6th April 2020 to 4th April 2021, and the delivery location is in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the funeral service industry, collection, and storage sectors, as it caters to a specialised service amidst the ongoing pandemic. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, as they can offer tailored local services and responsiveness that large firms may not provide. Companies able to demonstrate experience in providing sensitive and essential services during crisis situations will have a competitive advantage in this market.
