The Provision and Fixing of Service Pattern Memorials

Tender description

1. The Authority has a potential requirement, under a call off contract, for the provision and fixing (both within and outside UK) of service pattern memorials, including bases, for deceased armed forces personnel. The CPV code is 45262510 - Stonework. 2. The overall approximate annual requirement for the 3 lots in total is 115 memorials per year although this could increase or decrease.

The requirement is to provide the Authority with headstones, urn plot markers, wall plaques/cremation plaques, gravestone markers and bases (where required) as specified within the statement of requirement of the contract. 4. Details of the Authority's specifications for memorial sizes and shapes, carving of letters, service crests, regimental badges and religious emblems are contained within the statement of requirement. 5. The requirement has been split into lots based on the Authority's main requirements of Portland Stone (approximately 60-80 memorials a year), Karin Granite (approximately 15 memorials a year) and Nabresina Limestone (approximately 10-20 memorials a year), although there may be circumstances where other materials and/or memorial dimensions maybe required.
