UK Govt contract for dead body storageToday 07:23
Hi All - this is looking dodgy......
The local government in London, England (UK) is letting a Contract valued at £6 Million, for Temporary Dead Body Storage.
The Westminster City Council is seeking:
"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 Request for Bids also outlines:
"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.
Naturally, one wonders what "excess deaths situation" the London City government is anticipating? Oh, and why does the contractor need to be able to provide "rapid deployment?"
Below is a direct link to the actual London Tender Request on the official government web site.
If government is looking to spend money for "dead body storage" it is not unreasonable to think they KNOW something, or are planning something that will require that capacity.

Either way, this is a very bad sign. Stay safe
