## Summary

Cheshire East Council, in collaboration with Orbitas, has completed the procurement process for a service agreement focused on the maintenance of cremators in two locations within Cheshire East: Macclesfield and Crewe.

The tender, titled "Cremator Maintenance," had a tender period ending on 31 October 2024, with the contract commencing on 1 November 2024 and lasting until 31 October 2029. The total value of the contract is £155,000. The award was published on 3 December 2024, with the supplier being Facultatieve Technologies Limited.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in maintenance services, particularly those capable of managing complex equipment like cremators. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are considered suitable for participating in such tenders, providing them with a platform to expand their service offerings and enhance their credibility within the public services sector. The long-term nature of this contract ensures stable business growth for the winning bidder, who can establish a robust relationship with Cheshire East Council and Orbitas by delivering high-quality, reliable maintenance services over the five-year period.

## Notice

There are two crematoria within the Cheshire East Local Authority; one is located in Macclesfield in the North of the borough and the second in Crewe in the South. The Council, in conjunction with Orbitas are looking to enter into a new service agreement with a provider to maintain the cremators in both locations. Orbitas is the WOC that runs Cheshire East's Bereavement Services and the 'Care and Repair' service. Orbitas are directly responsible for the day-to-day management of the crematoria.
