To award a contract for cremator maintenance following the completion of a competitive procurement process.
There is no alternative as the Cemetery and Crematorium is an essential part of the Councils portfolio and is due to expand further in 2018 with the addition of a new chapel. The Council also has a statutory duty to cremate a body within 24-48 hours of receiving it; if it can’t fulfil that duty the Crematorium would have to stop receiving bodies, with subsequent disruption and distress.
