Tender description

The London Borough of Bromley is seeking a supplier to provide Public Health Funeral Service. The Council has a statutory obligation to carry out funeral arrangement for a person who dies in the community, with no arrangement in place, or where the deceased does not have anybody willing or able to undertake the funeral arrangements. A public funeral can be arranged for a deceased person with savings or other assets that amount to less than the cost of a benchmarked funeral. The Council averages sixteen (16) Public Health Funerals each year, but this can vary. The Council does not anticipate the value of this procurement to exceed the thresholds, however, due to the variable nature of this opportunity, the Council feels that it is prudent to advertise this in OJEU.
