## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking services for the uplift and transportation of deceased persons in Orkney through a completed tender process, identified as PROC21 - 0953. This procurement falls under the category of funeral and related services, with a total contract value of £100,000. The award was made on 29 June 2021 following a limited procurement method that did not require prior publication of a call for competition, due to the lack of suitable bids received during an open tender procedure. Key delivery occurs in the Orkney region (UKM65), and the involved parties include the Scottish Police Authority and the awarded supplier, John G. Corse Funeral Director Ltd, located in Kirkwall.

This contracting opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in funeral services and logistics, particularly those based in or operating within the Scottish regions. Given the specific nature of the services, businesses with experience in handling sensitive services for deceased individuals may find a strategic advantage in pursuing similar contracts in the future. Engaging in such tenders can significantly contribute to growth and sustainability within the funeral service industry, particularly in more remote areas like Orkney.
