## Summary

The Wirral Borough Council is currently inviting tenders for "Funeral Arrangements for Public Health Funerals," a procurement process classified under community, social and personal services. This open procedure is scheduled to conclude on 2nd July 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 1st August 2021 and run until 31st July 2022. The total value of this contract is £110,000, and it is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. Interested parties must respond before the specified deadline to be considered for the opportunity.

This tender provides significant opportunities for local businesses, particularly those operating in the funeral services sector. Companies with experience in providing community and social services, especially those that can handle statutory duties related to public health funerals, would be well-suited to compete. Given the nature of the contract, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially allowing them to secure a steady source of income while contributing to essential public health provisions.

## Notice

Local Authorities have a statutory duty, under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, to provide suitable funeral arrangements for persons who have died within the area, only in those cases, where there is no one prepared to make suitable funeral arrangements. Since April Wirral has 29 Public Health Act funerals however, these numbers vary from year to year in 19/21 we dealt with 5 and in 21/21 16. As it is not possible to predict the number of public funerals for future years, the contract will require a set fee for the individual cremation and burials for the specified period.
