"To reduce public expense councils often put out to tender to funeral directors the task of arranging these funerals" What does this even mean? Bumblebritches57 (talk) 17:12, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite plainly stated; I may have no knowledge of the subject, but I've no trouble understanding the quoted text. I can only guess that maybe it's an unfamiliarity of the use of the word "tender" in this context (ie. as in "Request for tender") that may have made this hard to understand for you?--60.242.17.174 (talk) 16:08, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I had never heard of the word tender in that context, so basically they're competing to provide the funeral against other businesses, got it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumblebritches57 (talkcontribs) 03:22, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
