What is being bought

Published requirement description

Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a single Supplier to provide Public

Health Funeral Services for Adult Social Care Services. Salford City Council has a statutory

obligation to carry out funeral arrangements for a person who dies in the community, within

the borough of Salford, where there is no arrangement in place, or where the deceased does

not have anybody willing or able to undertake the funeral arrangements. This statutory

obligation is delegated from Salford City Council to the Northern Care Alliance NHS

Foundation Trust. The contract will also extend to arranging private funerals in

circumstances where a suitable individual has been identified but there is a need to

financially bridge the arrangements for the funeral whilst individuals access the estate or
