## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for the supply of mortuary consumables to Flax Bourton Mortuary. The contract was awarded to CHEMSOL LIMITED, based in Sheffield, and covers the period from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2028. The tender falls under the "goods" category, specifically for mortuary equipment and supplies. This open competition, detailed under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54, followed an "open" procurement method below the threshold for competition. The contract is valued at £153,000 (net). The procurement stage has reached the award stage, with the contract status marked as active and the process complete.

This tender offers business growth opportunities particularly for SMEs supplying mortuary consumables and post-mortem equipment. Companies specialising in medical supplies with capabilities to provide such products to sub-central government entities within the United Kingdom stand to benefit significantly. With award criteria prioritising price at 65%, quality at 25%, and social value at 10%, businesses able to offer competitive pricing while meeting quality standards and demonstrating social contributions are well-positioned to compete in future similar tenders. The opportunity to service a prominent public authority such as Bristol City Council further enhances business profile and opens avenues for broader public sector engagements.
