Liverpool City Council has initiated a procurement process titled "Coroner Removal Services," which falls under the services industry category. The procurement, specifically focusing on funeral and related services, is currently in the planning stage. This tender is intended for the Liverpool and Wirral areas, with significant interest for businesses operating in the UKD7 region. The process commenced with a market engagement notice published on 11 August 2026, and premarket engagement is set to run until 4 September 2026, aiming to shape the procurement strategy effectively. The contracting timeline indicates that the service contract could begin as early as 1 June 2027, with a maximum extension possible until 31 May 2032.
