The Council, located in Nelson, United Kingdom, invites suppliers to offer double depth concrete vaults for use at its cemeteries in Walton Lane, Halifax Road, and Ghyll Lane Barnoldswick. Significant deadlines include registering interest by 15th May 2026, with submission of tender responses required by 15th June 2026. The tender falls under the cemetery services and is classified within the cemetery maintenance category. An open procedure method is adopted, where submissions are allowed electronically via ProContract, with relevant documents accessible through the portal. This procurement presents potential business growth opportunities, especially for suppliers specialising in construction and concrete vault installations. Businesses with experience in cemetery and cremation services are notably suited to compete, as the tender specifies a preference for concrete as the core material for vaults tailored to Muslim burials, requiring specific protective attributes against water ingress. The tender supports SMEs, fitting for small and medium-sized enterprises skilled in handling complex installation tasks. The contract, valued at up to £240,000, spans from 1st July 2026 to 31st March 2029, allowing for sustained involvement and service provision. ## Notice Pendle Borough Council is seeking a supplier to provide double depth concrete vaults at its cemeteries located at Walton Lane and Halifax Road in Nelson and Ghyll Lane Barnoldswick. The Council currently uses concrete vaults for Muslim burials. The Council would prefer to continue using concrete as the core material. The vaults will need to be externally protected from water ingress to the head, foot, base and sides. Vaults must be constructed with sectional lids for ease of handling during the closing and opening. The Council will require new vaults to be set in the ground at designated locations within each cemetery. Installation will include reinstatement of ground around the burial plot and the removal and safe disposal or re-use of excavated soil. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037527-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PENDLE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | NELSON | | Post town | Blackburn | | Postcode | BB9 7LJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD46 East Lancashire | | Local authority | Pendle | | Electoral ward | Bradley | | Westminster constituency | Pendle and Clitheroe | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98371100 - Cemetery services and cremation services - 98371110 - Cemetery services - 98371111 - Cemetery maintenance services ## Release History - 24 Apr 2026 at 11:01 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037527-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037527-2026 24th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=af1db1d7-c93f-f111-813c-005056b64545 To participate, suppliers must register an interest before 12pm, 15th May 2026 to obtain access to the tender documents.
