Description
Westminster City Council (the ‘Authority”) invites Tenders for the provision of temporary body storage structures (“the Services”).
The Framework Agreement to be procured will provide safe and secure temporary storage facilities for deceased who would otherwise be stored in hospital or local authority mortuaries or in funeral homes due to an excess death situation.
The occurrence of excess death situations cannot be predicted, and the Authority cannot guarantee the timing, quantity, or duration of the need to call off some, or all, of the service.
The successful Tenderer will be required to tender a price schedule for specific components to provide the Services. Note that the Services are provided to the Authority on a hire basis. The resulting Framework Agreement will be available for call of by all London local authorities.

Description
The Authority seeks to procure a framework agreement for temporary body storage in the event of an excess deaths situation for the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, led by Westminster City Council. The framework agreement will appoint a single provider and will be for a period of 4 years. This will be a contingency contract, only called upon in the event that an excess deaths situation arises in the future and existing local body storage capacity needs to be augmented. The over-arching aim of this tender is to provide a single framework supplier that will be able to provide temporary body storage facilities to house deceased in the event of an excess deaths situation. The deceased will be stored with dignity and respect, at locations to be determined based on local London needs at the time and will require some design elements to accommodate local site conditions and constraints, while being capable of rapid deployment, construction and commissioning to an agreed standard. This framework will be procured by the Authority as the pan-London lead, but all London local authorities may call-off against the framework. This will be a contingency cover framework and as such there is no minimum guarantee of any level of spend or call-off under the framework agreement.
Total Quantity or Scope
The Authority will be hiring the structures and associated items, which will be decommissioned and removed at the end of the requirement.
