## Summary

The Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking proposals for the Stockport Council Bereavement Service under an active tender process. The procurement aims to amalgamate the existing crematorium and burial administration services into a single delivery model. Interested parties have until 23rd June 2023 to submit their proposals. The contract includes quality and price criteria, with an option to extend for a further 5 years until 2033. The buying organisation is looking for service providers to enhance service provision, focusing on sustainability, and meeting environmental requirements for the benefit of the community.

The Stockport Borough Council is planning a future tender for the Stockport Bereavement Service. The upcoming procurement will aim to improve service provision standards and align with the council's long-term sustainability goals. The procurement programme seeks to reduce the tender submission timeframe to 15 days to expedite the process. Interested parties are encouraged to participate to help shape the future service delivery and contribute towards creating fitting and dignified surroundings for the community. The anticipated communication date for the tender is 24th April 2023.

## Notice

SMBC's crematorium & burial administration contract comes to an end in September 2023. The current service delivery model is split between 2 organisations, with an external contractor managing the administration of the service as well as the operation of Stockport Crematorium, whilst SMBC staff manage the operation of the rest of the cemeteries across the Borough. As we continually strive to deliver the best service possible for the residents of Stockport and the surrounding areas, we would now like to combine all the aspects of the service in to one single amalgamated delivery model. We would like to hear from anyone who would be interested in working with Stockport MBC to further develop their service provision and standards to provide appropriate options in fitting and dignified surroundings all of which will dovetail into the SMBC long term plan for sustainability & meet environmental & climate change requirements for the benefit of our community.
