External Store for Northampton Mortuary

This procurement relates to the specialist fit-out of a mortuary facility in Northamptonshire. Following a review of available suppliers under the relevant framework, a direct award is proposed to a single supplier due to their unique technical capabilities and proven expertise in this highly specialised area.

The selected supplier has demonstrated extensive experience in the design, manufacture, and installation of refrigerated body storage systems and associated mortuary equipment. Their ability to deliver a complete end-to-end solution-from initial concept design through to installation and after-sales support-ensures continuity, quality assurance, and compliance with sector-specific standards.

In addition, the supplier is recognised as a leading manufacturer of mortuary lifting trolleys and related equipment, with a track record of delivering robust, reliable solutions tailored to the demanding environments of mortuary and funeral director facilities. Their equipment is constructed using high-grade materials and components, offering long-term durability and operational efficiency.

Given the critical nature of the facility and the need for specialist technical input, it is deemed both commercially and operationally appropriate to proceed with a direct award under the framework. This approach ensures timely delivery, mitigates risk, and secures a supplier with the requisite expertise to meet the specific requirements of the Northamptonshire mortuary fit-out.
