Crematoria Solutions III - 1032
Framework Description
YPO's Crematoria Solutions III framework (reference 1032) is the third version of YPO's crematoria framework. It covers the supply and installation of cremators and abatement equipment in Lot 1, and the maintenance of that equipment in Lot 2. Its single 12-month extension has already been used, so it ends on 23 February 2027 with no further options.
Context & Use Case
Councils and other public bodies that run crematoria use it to replace or upgrade cremators, fit abatement equipment that reduces emissions, and keep plant maintained. These are high-value, infrequent purchases, so buyers prefer a route with vetted specialist suppliers rather than running their own tender for each project or service contract.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Supply and installation of crematoria equipment and abatement equipment Lot 2: Maintenance
Lots
Lot 1 - Supply and installation of crematoria equipment and abatement equipment, including...; Lot 2 - Maintenance
Who Can Apply
Cremator manufacturers, abatement system suppliers and specialist maintenance firms. As applications are closed and it ends on 23 February 2027, it offers no way in for new firms. With no extension left, YPO's replacement procurement is likely to be under way soon, which is the next chance to get on.
Buyer Benefits
Bereavement services teams get access to a small, specialist market through suppliers already assessed for capability, which reduces the risk on equipment that must work reliably and meet emissions limits. Having installation and maintenance in separate lots lets them buy a new cremator and a service contract through the same route.
Next Steps
Check the YPO 1032 page now for news of a replacement crematoria framework, since this one ends on 23 February 2027. Prepare evidence of cremator installations, abatement performance, maintenance response times and environmental compliance. Suppliers already on 1032 should complete any call-offs before the end date.
