## Description
In the last 12 month period Sefton dealt with 29 Public Health Act funerals however, these numbers vary and no assurances can be given with regard to the actual numbers of public funerals for future years.

Sefton Council will be awarding a single supplier framework agreement to the highest ranked bidder.
As this will be a framework agreement there will be no guarantee of business, especially due to the demand led nature of the services.
