## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has successfully completed a direct procurement process to carry out the Cemetery Extension Works at Thorntree Cemetery, categorised under the industry of cemetery works. The procurement, conducted without a competitive tender due to its below-threshold status, resulted in an active contract awarded to WHITE HORSE CONTRACTORS LIMITED. The contract, valued at approximately £1.82 million, was signed on 21st May 2026, and is set to be completed by 28th October 2026. This project addresses critical needs of the Council and the Crematorium service, located in the UKC12 region of the United Kingdom. The contract award is part of an ongoing commitment to improving public service facilities in Middlesbrough.

This tender provides a significant business opportunity for companies specializing in cemetery or infrastructure works, particularly those familiar with expedited project timelines under direct procurement conditions. The project, awarded to a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), highlights the emphasis on engaging capable contractors who can deliver timely and efficient results. Firms with expertise in high-standard public sector contracting will find opportunities to leverage their skills to collaborate with sub-central government entities like Middlesbrough Council, potentially enhancing their reputation and expanding their business portfolio within the region.

## Notice

We are under additional pressure to deliver the extension works as we have fallen behind deadline. Any further delay could be significantly detrimental to the Council and the Crematorium service.
