## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking tenders for the uplift and transportation of deceased persons, a service classified under funeral and related services. This procurement, initiated on 30 March 2021, has two active lots: Lot 1 focuses on reactive journeys for transporting deceased individuals from their location to the mortuary, while Lot 2 covers planned journeys, including transport between designated mortuaries. The tendering process is currently at the Award stage, with a total value of £4,895,280 for both lots. The contracts cover all areas within Scotland, and the procurement method used is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation from suppliers.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for companies in the funeral services sector, especially those with capabilities in transportation and logistics. Businesses that demonstrate compliance with relevant employment standards, such as payment of the Real Living Wage and adherence to the Equalities Act 2010, will be in a strong position to compete. Given the competitive environment, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as larger firms focusing on funeral and related operational services are well-suited to engage in this process and potentially secure contracts to expand their customer base and services offered in Scotland.
