1415-174 Vaults and Mausolea

Tender description

Current status / Background: ICCS have been providing these products for a number of years over several areas within Islington and St Pancras Cemeteries. We are looking to extend our current provision to new areas within the main site as well as increasing on the existing areas. The current arrangement is due to expire and the Council seek to establish a single supplier framework agreement supplier. The requirement: ICCS are looking for applications from companies that can provide, install and maintain bespoke vaults and mausolea which are suitable for their purpose and fit in with the general ethos of Islington and St Pancras Cemetery, which holds a wide range of memorial styles from 1854 to date. It is expected that a minimum of 32 new vaults and 24 new mausolea will be required each year. In any event it is not expected that more than 64 new vaults or 48 new mausolea will be wanted in any one year. The successful tenderer will also have to take into account the problems of ground excavation and reinstatement around these schemes without interfering with the operation of the cemetery or of funerals in the area. The vaults and mausolea will be made of reinforced concrete with suitable finishes to provide adequate weather and erosion proofing.
