Funeral services

Tender description

Birmingham City Council wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of memorial benches, memorial products, routine memorial safety inspections, removal of deceased persons to the Coroner's Office, and the provision of Funerals. This framework will be open to local authorities and public bodies within the West Midlands. This framework is for 4 years. The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority points out that no weight will be attached to whether or not an economic operator is an SME in selecting economic operators to submit tenders nor in assessing the most economically advantageous tender. BCC will be using its e-tendering system (In-tend) for the administration of this procurement process. Providers must register with the system to be able to express an interest. The web address is https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc. Registration and use of In-tend is free. All correspondence for this procurement process must be via the In-tend correspondence function. If you are unable to register with In-tend please either email us at cps@birmingham.gov.uk or call 0121 464 8000. If you are interested in tendering please click on the following link to access Birmingham City Councils tender Portal:-. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc/ and submit your details to register as a bidder. You will be sent logon and password information to enable download of the tender documentation. Deadline for expressions of interest: Friday 21.10.2016.
