## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council intends to procure a crematorium audio and visual web streaming system. The requirement is for a software and information systems solution supporting audio and visual content and web streaming for crematorium services. The work will be delivered in Cheshire, within the council’s area. This is classified as a goods procurement, although the requirement concerns the provision of a technology system rather than physical equipment alone. Businesses supplying crematorium streaming platforms, audio-visual systems, webcasting software, or integrated information systems should consider the requirement relevant. The council is the buyer and will use the system for its crematorium operations. The requirement is currently at an early market-testing stage, before a formal competition is issued.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is described as soft market testing. The council has announced preliminary market engagement, with engagement scheduled by 3 September 2026. This is an intention to procure, not an invitation to tender, so suppliers are not being asked to submit competitive bids at this stage. The planned contract is for one lot, with an expected term from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The procurement is recorded as above the applicable threshold. The council has not set out a procurement procedure, estimated value, award criteria, eligibility requirements or bid deadline in this planning information. Any formal tender process and requirements will be established later.

The planned requirement should suit businesses that design, supply or support audio-visual web streaming systems for crematoria or comparable public-facing services. Relevant preparation may include demonstrating the ability to provide software and information systems that combine audio and visual capture, streaming and online access in a reliable operational service. Providers of webcasting platforms, specialist crematorium technology, audio-visual integration or managed streaming services may be well placed to monitor the requirement as it develops. The council has identified the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so participation is not limited to large technology suppliers. Suppliers should use the market-engagement stage to understand the council’s operational needs and shape the future specification.
