## Summary

Rugby Borough Council has completed the public procurement process for the project titled "RUG - Memorial Safety," which focuses on cemetery services in the West Midlands, UK. The procurement process followed a direct award method, and the contract was awarded to Memsafe Limited. The process began with the tender phase ending on 28th January 2025, and the contract will run from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2028. The procurement stage is complete, with the award being published on 9th January 2026, with a total value of £70,000. Rugby Borough Council is the buying organisation, ensuring safety and maintenance for memorials in cemeteries and churchyards within the region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in providing cemetery maintenance and safety services. It offers a platform for growth over a three-year period, enabling the successful firm to form a long-term partnership with a public sector body. With the project focused in a specific regional location and delivered by direct award, SMEs like Memsafe Limited—who were eventually awarded the contract—are especially well-suited to competing for such contracts, due to their agile approach and specialised services tailored to local government requirements. This scenario demonstrates how businesses in this niche industry can enhance their portfolio and establish their reputation through strategic collaborations with councils.
