## Summary

The procurement process for the Provision of Funeral Services 2017-2020 has been awarded by North Tyneside Council, situated in the North East of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was an open procedure, with an award value of £86,000. The contract period commenced on 6 September 2017 and will continue until 5 September 2020. This opportunity arose following a tender period that concluded on 6 June 2017, and it covers funeral services required by service users lacking the mental capacity to manage their own affairs.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the funeral services industry, particularly those specialising in provision for individuals with financial limitations. Companies that can offer cost-effective "Contract Funerals" and "Standard Cost Funerals" are well-suited to compete in this procurement process, potentially aiding the North Tyneside Council in fulfilling its statutory requirements while also supporting local growth within the sector.

## Notice

AWARD OF THE FOLLOWING OPPORTUNITY The Authority currently provides services via the Court of Protection (COP) Team for those service users who lack mental capacity to deal with their own finances and have no other person to act on their behalf. There are two types of scenarios where the Authority arranges Funerals and the Authority has a statutory requirement to arrange both these types of Funerals and ensure the deceased are cremated or buried whilst including any end of life wishes. The two types of Funerals are identified as A and B below:- A. 'Contract Funeral' These funerals are funded by the Authority. The deceased have no financial assets and no relatives whom can fund/arrange a funeral on their behalf. B. 'Standard Cost Funeral' (or full cost funeral). These funerals are funded from the Assets of the Deceased; however, the invoice must be approved by the Authority prior to the Authority passing the invoice to the Deceased's bank for payment.
