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.
