## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Mortuary Services" for Northamptonshire Coronial Services. This tender falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services". The contract was awarded to University Hospital Northampton on 14 March 2025 and is valued at £420,000. The tender process followed a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its classification outside the scope of the directive. The service is to be delivered in the UKF region, with an option for two extensions of 6 months each.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large healthcare providers and organisations specialising in community and social services. Companies that can offer comprehensive mortuary services and have experience working with public sector contracts will find this procurement particularly pertinent. The focus on price as the sole award criterion suggests that competitive pricing strategies would be beneficial for businesses looking to engage in similar future tenders. The awarded contract gives the successful supplier an opportunity to establish a pivotal role within the regional healthcare infrastructure, potentially leading to additional service contracts in the future.
