This procurement process, categorised under funeral and related services, is in the planning stage, having been formally announced via a Prior Information Notice (PIN) dated 29 November 2019. The council has budgeted approximately £80,000 per year, amounting to a potential total of £640,000 over an 8-year period if all extensions are utilised. Bids are encouraged from providers capable of covering the entire region of Cornwall, with the tender process expected to occur between December 2019 and February 2020. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for local businesses, particularly those in the funeral services sector, including funeral homes and service providers. Companies that can meet the statutory requirements for providing Public Health Funerals and those that are capable of operating throughout Cornwall will be well-suited to compete. Collaborative bids from groups of suppliers are also welcome, thus enabling small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate effectively in this contract opportunity. ## Notice Public Funerals PIN This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is an indication of potential future procurement activity and may be subject to change.
