Description

East Sussex County Council ('the Council') is seeking to appoint up to four (4) contractors for the provision of body removal services in the County of East Sussex. The services are required where a death has been referred to H.M. Coroner, and the body is to be transported to a pre-designated mortuary for investigation ('the Services').

This procurement exercise ('Procurement') aims to meet the requirements of the Coroners Act 1988 in respect of bodies coming under the jurisdiction of the East Sussex Coroner. The Council has split the Services into four lots ('Lots') and bodies are to be removed and delivered to the designated mortuary for that Lot, as follows:

o Lot 1: The Conquest Hospital in Hastings, TN37 7RD

o Lot 2: Eastbourne District General Hospital, BN21 2UD

o Lot 3: Woodvale mortuary in Brighton, BN2 3QB

o Lot 4: Pembury hospital, TN2 4QJ

Post codes included in the geographical area under each Lot:

Lot 1: TN5 7, TN19, TN31, TN32, TN33, TN34, TN35, TN37, TN38, TN39, TN40

Lot 2: TN21 9, BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23, BN24, BN26, BN27, BN25 4

Lot 3: BN25 1, BN25 2, BN25 3, BN9, BN10, BN7, BN8, BN6 8

Lot 4: TN21 0, TN21 8, TN20, TN5 6, TN3 9, TN7, RH18, TN6, TN22

Bidders may, subject to meeting the Council's Specification of Requirements (as set out in Schedule 4 of the Tender Documents), submit up to ONE alternative submission whereby all four (4) Lots are offered as a joint contract ('Package Bid).
