## Summary

The procurement process for the Cemetery and Crematorium Management System was initiated by Walsall Council, which is based in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This open procedure tender, designated as WP3640 - AWARD, aims to replace existing management software to improve efficiency in handling burials and cremations across eight cemeteries and one crematorium under Walsall Council's management. The contract was awarded on 11 March 2021, with a contract period spanning from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025. The total contract value is £118,600, and the tender period closed on 19 November 2020.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in IT services such as consulting, software development, and internet solutions. Companies capable of delivering modern software solutions that enhance operational efficiency and provide functionalities like internet booking systems for funeral directors would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts in this area. As Walsall Council continues to modernise its IT strategy, there may be additional tenders in related categories, presenting ongoing opportunities for providers within the digital services sector.

## Notice

Walsall Council's Bereavement Services Team are seeking to replace their existing cemetery and crematorium management software and standalone data sources with a more modern solution. The aims of this project are to increase back office efficiency, provide better core back office administration for burials and cremations including memorial, finance and statistics; provide an internet booking system for Funeral Directors The scope of the project covers all cemetery and crematorium sites owned or managed by Walsall Council, which currently numbers one (1) crematorium incorporating two (2) chapels and eight (8) cemeteries. Approximately 2000 burials and 2200 cremations take place annually. The Council currently uses a semi-bespoke software system "CAS" Cemetery and Crematorium Administration System) to manage the daily flow for the cemeteries and crematorium activities, and seeks to replace this with a modern alternative which is fully compatible with the Council's current IT Strategy.
