## Summary

London Borough of Enfield procured cemetery and burial works under a burial contract. The service covers excavating new graves, re-opening existing graves, preparing and dressing graves before a funeral arrives, providing shoring, managing excavated soil, backfilling and closing graves, topping up graves, and interring ashes. This is practical cemetery works rather than funeral directing, cremation, or general grounds maintenance. The requirement is for work associated with the council’s burial services in Enfield. It would suit contractors able to carry out sensitive, time-critical work in active cemeteries, including grave excavation, reinstatement and ashes interments, while coordinating preparation around funeral arrivals.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Neil Curtis & Sons Funeral Contractors Ltd. It was a direct award below the threshold without competition, covering one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027. Its gross value is £200,000. The award is classified as cemetery works. The contracting route means the council selected a supplier without inviting competing bids. The outcome indicates a single supplier was appointed for the full burial works requirement, rather than separate suppliers being appointed for different service elements.

This procurement shows demand from London Borough of Enfield for a specialist burial-works contractor able to deliver the complete operational service, from excavating and re-opening graves through preparation for funerals, shoring, soil management, reinstatement, top-ups and ashes interments. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitably experienced staff, reliable equipment and the capacity to respond around scheduled funeral arrivals without disrupting cemetery operations. Practical competence in safe excavation, shoring, handling and backfilling would be central, alongside careful work in an active and sensitive public setting. Experience delivering cemetery works for a local authority or comparable cemetery operator would help demonstrate that the contractor can manage varied burial tasks consistently and respectfully.

## Notice

The service requirement includes excavation of new graves, re-opening of existing graves, grave preparation and dressing prior to funeral arrival, shoring, soil management, backfilling/closing graves, grave top-ups and ashes interments.
