## Summary

The Middlesbrough Borough Council is seeking providers for the "CCS018/2019 Collection Service", a procurement process within the health and social work services category. The contract, which has an estimated value of £490,875, requires the collection and transportation of bodies or body parts within the North East region of the United Kingdom, mandating readiness at any time, including weekends and bank holidays. The tender period concluded on 20th June 2019, and the awarded contract starts from 1st November 2019 and extends until 31st October 2023. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, encouraging broad participation. The contract has been fully awarded as of 11th October 2019.

This opportunity presents a significant business growth prospect for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) in the funeral service sector. Organisations adept at logistical services, particularly those with experience in body transportation and compliance with health regulations, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this tender could enable businesses to establish valuable relationships with local authorities, expand into new service areas, and enhance their portfolios in the health-related service industry.

## Notice

Upon notification by the Coroners Service or other authorised organisations notified by the Coroners Service, the service provider will be required to collect bodies or body parts from any location within the geographical collection area at any time of day or night including weekends and bank holidays. The service provider should note that the collection process should include the placing of the remains in suitable containers provided by the Service Provider prior to transportation. The service provider shall then transport the body or body parts to the nominated mortuary.
