This procurement, categorised under construction works related to health and social services, is currently in the Tender stage. The tender period closes on 12th July 2021, and the total contract value is set at £6,000,000 for a duration of four years. This open procurement will appoint a single provider who will ensure the dignified storage of deceased individuals in compliance with local needs during a crisis. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary structures and logistics tailored for health services. Companies that have expertise in rapid deployment and construction of facilities under sensitive conditions will be particularly well-suited to compete for this tender. The framework agreement will enable engagement with multiple local authorities, potentially generating additional contracts depending on future needs for body storage solutions in London. ## Notice The Authority seeks to procure a framework agreement for temporary body storage in the event of an excess deaths situation for the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, led by Westminster City Council. The framework agreement will appoint a single provider and will be for a period of 4 years. This will be a contingency contract, only called upon in the event that an excess deaths situation arises in the future and existing local body storage capacity needs to be augmented. The over-arching aim of this tender is to provide a single framework supplier that will be able to provide temporary body storage facilities to house deceased in the event of an excess deaths situation. The deceased will be stored with dignity and respect, at locations to be determined based on local London needs at the time and will require some design elements to accommodate local site conditions and constraints, while being capable of rapid deployment, construction and commissioning to an agreed standard. This framework will be procured by the Authority as the pan-London lead, but all London local authorities may call-off against the framework. This will be a contingency cover framework and as such there is no minimum guarantee of any level of spend or call-off under the framework agreement. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Authority seeks to procure a framework agreement for temporary body storage in the event of an excess deaths situation for the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, led by Westminster City Council.
