## Summary

Trowbridge Town Council initially commenced a procurement process for grave-digging services at their cemetery located in Trowbridge, United Kingdom. Under the tender ID ocds-h6vhtk-05f63a-083127-2025, the council intended for a contract to start on 1st April 2025, spanning three years, with the possibility of extension for an additional three years. Despite the formal tender process initiated on 16th December 2025 under an open competition procurement method, the tender was later cancelled as documented on 23rd March 2026, signalling the completion of the tender stage. Grave-digging services fall within the works industry category and align with sub-central government public authority procurement. Key dates previously included the tender period ending on 6th February 2026, with the enquiry period concluding a day prior.

The procurement opportunity offered by Trowbridge Town Council could have been a significant avenue for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), marked by its suitability for these entities. For businesses specialising in grave-digging work or similar services, this contract would have provided a stable and recurring revenue over the potential six-year period. With a significant budget of £24,000 gross for effective service delivery, businesses with expertise in cemetery operations could leverage this contract to expand their reach and establish a solid foothold within the region. Despite the cancellation, similar future opportunities might be of considerable interest to competent contractors aiming to support the council’s cemetery services.
