Description
In certain cases, when there is a sudden death other than by natural causes, it is the responsibility of the Coroner to examine the cause of death. This may result in a post mortem examination being carried out. It is also the Coroner's responsibility to remove bodies from the scene of death to the mortuary, pending investigation into the death.
This procurement is to renew a Framework Agreement for contractors to provide a service to transport deceased persons between the place of death to the Coroner's chosen destination where this destination is out of county. The majority of bodies need to be transported to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth or Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. On occasions taken to other locations including long distance transfers within the UK. The anticipated commencement date for the new framework is 1 October 2017.
This Framework sits around side a Framework to transport bodies within the county. The tender is available via https://procontract.due-north.com.
