Description
The City of Edinburgh Council intend to establish a single Lot Framework Agreement for the provision of Funeral Services under the terms of Section 87 of the Burial and Cremation Act (Scotland) 2016. This will include provision of funeral services, transport and storage of the deceased. In terms of Section 87 of the Burial and Cremation Act (Scotland) 2016, the Council has a duty to make funeral arrangements for any person who dies or is found dead within the Local Authority area where no other Local Authority is liable to make those arrangements and where no other person has come forward to make a suitable funeral arrangement for the deceased. This Framework Agreement will be primarily used by the City of Edinburgh Council, but Midlothian Council may also use this Framework Agreement.
