Published requirement description

Sandwell MBC (the Council) has two crematoria and nine cemeteries for which it is responsible, providing a service to the residents of Sandwell and from other local areas, where they can access appropriate means for the cremation and burial of the deceased. Crematoria and cemeteries also act as places where bereaved families and friends can have various lasting memorials erected in a peaceful and respectful setting to commemorate their loved ones. To support this, the Council had an on-going requirement for the supply and installation of Burial Chambers.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Supply and Installation of Burial Chambers” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
