About

Durham County Council awarded a contract to Charlotte Fleming Funeral Service Ltd and Alan M Ranson Funeral Service for a Public Health Funeral Services framework, valued at £36,000.

The framework is divided into four lots: Burial, Cremation, Burial with an Estate, and Cremation with an Estate.

Services include advice, liaison and support to third parties and professional personnel; care and preparation of the deceased; removal of deceased persons from any site as directed by the Council; provision of a standard wooden or wooden derivative coffin; provision of a hearse and bearers to attend the service at the crematorium or cemetery; provision of a minister, priest, or appropriate person to conduct a funeral service; and payment of standard fees.

Providers are ranked and called off based on price submitted (low to high).

The arrangement is open and flexible, allowing the Council to re-open the opportunity for additional providers to join the framework, with a price refresh that may re-order rankings for all lots.

The framework provides no exclusivity or volume guarantee, and the Council may enter into other contracts for similar services.
