Tender description

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) has initiated a review of its bereavement services offer and is looking to market test the operating model for BCP Bereavement Care Services, by looking at potential future investment options and alternative operational delivery models. The purpose of this engagement is to gather funeral services industry expertise, innovative solutions, and feedback.

Respondents interested in providing feedback must complete and return the questionnaire provided by 14:00 on Monday 11th March 2024 at the latest. Upon receiving and analysing supplier responses, we may schedule follow-up discussions to delve deeper into specific areas of interest or clarification. Keywords: Funeral Services, Cremation
