## Summary

The procurement process for "Public Health Funerals" was initiated by Ipswich Borough Council, designated as a public authority at a sub-central government level in the United Kingdom. The process was aimed at procuring services for direct cremations and burials, classified under the funeral and related services industry category. The open competition procurement method, identified as "Below threshold," allowed for electronic submissions through the Suffolk Sourcing website. The tender stage began with the tender notice being published on 8th August 2025, and submissions were due by 11:00 AM on 8th September 2025. The contract period was set to start on 1st November 2025 and end on 30th October 2027, with potential extensions for two additional years. However, as of 10th June 2026, the award was cancelled due to changes in service requirements.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in cremation and burial services. The contract, valued at £80,000 (gross £96,000), provides a stable, long-term engagement with optional extensions. Companies that can deliver high-quality, cost-effective funeral services will find this opportunity beneficial, particularly those capable of meeting the dual criteria of competitive pricing and quality provision. Small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in undertaking services or possessing the capacity to manage large-scale funerals could leverage this opportunity to expand their service portfolio and client base. Engaging in this tender also positions businesses within the public sector, potentially opening further procurement opportunities in the future.
