This initiative is part of the council's re-commissioning of their Funeral Services Contract, set to commence from May 2017. A presentation organised to demonstrate the online tendering system will be held on Monday, 15th May 2017, at 11.00 am, at the Guildhall in St Giles Square, Northampton, NN1 1DE. Interested parties should RSVP to Amy Myers by 9am on the same day to attend the session at this East Midlands location. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the funeral services sector to enhance their understanding of the online procurement process. Companies that provide funeral-related services, particularly those interested in expanding their reach within local government contracts, would be well-suited to attend this demonstration. Participants will learn about accessing contract opportunities and efficiently engaging with the ProContract system, which could prove beneficial for businesses aiming to secure future contracts with the Northampton Borough Council. ## Notice Northampton Borough Council (NBC) will be re-commissioning their Contract for Funeral Services in Northampton from May 2017. Potential Providers are invited to a presentation from the LGSS Procurement Team, demonstrating the online tendering system that NCC use (ProContract). The presentation will be hosted at 11.00am on Monday 15th May, at the Guildhall, St Giles Square, Northampton, NN1 1DE (arrival between 10.45am and 10.55am). (http://www.northampton.gov.uk/info/373/weddings-parties-conferences-and-meetings/2193/nearby) The presentation is in the Jeffrey Room on the first floor of the Guildhall which is accessed via the main entrance of the building. Please report to reception and ask to be directed to this room. The presentation will be solely focused on the procurement tendering system, rather than any Contract opportunities, and as such, on the day, we will only be answering questions about the ProContract tendering system. Depending on the number of questions asked, the presentation should last around an hour. The session will cover: Contracts Finder Registering on ProContract Searching for contract opportunities Registering an interest in an opportunity Completing an online tender questionnaire Submitting your response Using the messaging area to contact the buyer Any questions in relation to the Tender (or any other Tender) need to be asked via the ProContract messaging portal, once the Tender is live. If your organisation wishes to attend the demonstration, please RSVP to Amy Myers by 9am on Monday 15th May 2017 via ammyers@northamptonshire.gov.uk, including details of your organisation, who will be attending and any access requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5d5a1ce-198d-4fdc-a0fa-5ed777deb519 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHAMPTON | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN1 1DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF24 West Northamptonshire | | Local authority | West Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Northampton North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98370000 - Funeral and related services - 98371000 - Funeral services ## Release History - 9 May 2017 at 09:56 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5d5a1ce-198d-4fdc-a0fa-5ed777deb519 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b5d5a1ce-198d-4fdc-a0fa-5ed777deb519 9th May 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk - http://www.northampton.gov.uk/info/373/weddings-parties-conferences-and-meetings/2193/nearby ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
