## Summary

The procurement process, managed by East Cambridgeshire District Council, involves the design, supply, and installation of a Bereavement Centre, applicable to the construction industry (CPV 45000000). Located in the UKH12 region, the procurement stage is complete, with the contract status marked as active as of 11th July 2025. The contract, signed with Kier Construction Eastern and Midlands Ltd, a large-scale supplier, is valued at £8,296,246. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and it was conducted through the Procure Partnership Framework.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in large-scale construction projects, particularly those with expertise in environmentally sustainable developments. With a focus on constructing a Bereavement Centre, including core facilities and extensive external works such as memorial gardens and ecological landscaping, it opens avenues for businesses offering innovative sustainable solutions. Companies with experience in handling regional authority projects and integrating sustainability measures in construction would be well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on recycled materials and biodiversity protection within the project specifications.

## Notice

The project comprises the design and build, including completion of the design and construction, of the bereavement centre and all associated elements. This includes the core buildings such as the crematorium (including the cremator hall), ceremony and committal spaces, administration offices, and a function or wake building. This covers extensive external and landscape works, including memorial gardens, remembrance areas, natural burial grounds, a pet cemetery, and wider landscaping with planting, ecological zones, pathways, and integration with the lakeside setting to enhance biodiversity. In addition, the scope includes infrastructure and access works such as car parking, internal roads, drainage, utilities, service connections, and external lighting. The development also incorporates sustainability and environmental measures, including the use of recycled materials (such as recycled plastic cladding and reused earth bunds), biodiversity protection and enhancement, and careful integration with the surrounding natural environment and wildlife habitats.
