## Summary

Tendring District Council intends to appoint a main contractor for construction works extending Burnsville Park Cemetery in Tendring. The work will provide new paths and roadways to enable future burial plots. The procurement is divided into an urgent initial works package and a full works package, which includes the urgent works plus the remaining extension works. The work will be delivered in the Tendring area of Essex. This is a civil engineering and cemetery construction project, including site preparation and clearance. The Council will decide after the tender process which package to award; the full works may be taken to market separately later if its cost is too high.

The process is at planning: the Council has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure, with a further notice anticipated on 1 December 2026. The stated overall estimated value is £2.7 million excluding VAT (£3.24 million including VAT). The urgent works package is valued at £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT), and the full works package at £2 million excluding VAT (£2.4 million including VAT). A contractor may bid for and win only one package according to the lot limits, although the Council’s description says a contractor can win both; the Council will resolve which package to award through the tender process. The anticipated contract period for either package is 1 April to 28 October 2027, with a possible extension to 28 December 2027. The buyer’s expected tender closing date is 15 January 2027 and award decision date is 9 February 2027.

This work is likely to suit a main contractor with the capacity to deliver cemetery construction and site preparation, including paths and roadways, and to organise work around an urgent initial package and a broader extension. Suppliers should consider whether they can price and resource either the initial urgent works or the full scope, which includes those works. The Council’s planned structure leaves a commercial distinction between completing the urgent package and undertaking the complete extension; the Council may procure the full works separately if its cost is too high. The process is intended to be open, and electronic tender submission is expected through an e-sourcing portal when the tender is issued. The planning information does not state specific accreditations, experience thresholds or technical selection requirements.
