This service aims to develop a new concept for bereavement support in North East Lincolnshire, through a Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) to gauge market interest and gather insights. The consultation will involve a questionnaire aiming for completion by 31 March 2021. The council seeks to ensure that these services are accessible and affordable while allowing for the provision of various options such as counselling, a celebrant, and post-bereavement support. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in bereavement services, counselling, and floral arrangements, among others. Companies that are well-positioned to engage in this procurement include those that can offer comprehensive and compassionate funeral services, as well as suppliers capable of providing additional support elements as outlined in the catalogue. Participating in this PMC may help businesses to shape their service offerings in line with community needs and secure a role in the subsequent concession contract. ## Notice The Local Authority is looking to engage the market through Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) regarding a completely new concept for bespoke bereavement services for the local area. The consultation will be through a questionnaire where we like to understand the views of the market on our proposed new way of working.
