## Summary

The procurement process titled "Funeral Services 2021" is managed by North Tyneside Council, located in North Tyneside, England. This contract falls under the category of Other community, social and personal services and is primarily focused on appointing a qualified Funeral Director or Funeral Service provider. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender was published on 16 April 2021, with a tender period ending on 5 May 2021. The awarded contract, valued at £12,000, has a duration from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2023. The contract is currently active as of 14 May 2021, providing a structured approach to delivering funeral services to individuals unable to manage their own funerals due to financial or capacity constraints.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in funeral services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide tailored and compassionate support. With the authority arranging a range of funeral services—both funded by the council and those financed through the deceased's assets—companies focused on community care and funeral management are well-suited to compete. The tender offers a platform for these businesses to showcase their expertise and become trusted providers in a vital social service sector.

## Notice

The Authority wishes to appoint a suitably experienced and professional Funeral Director or Funeral Service provider (The Contractor) 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. Direct to Cremation Funeral These funerals are funded by the Authority. The deceased have no financial assets and no relatives who can fund/arrange a funeral on their behalf. On average over the last three years we have organised six contract funerals per year. 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. On average over the last three years we have organised five standard cost funerals per year. Additional information: Please go to www.nepoportal.org to express an interest and download documents.
