Description

The Council is looking to procure Body Transfer services on behalf of HM Coroner. In the unfortunate case of a violent, sudden, or suspicious death it is the responsibility of the Coroner to remove bodies from the scene to a selected mortuary or body storage facility in order to complete the necessary investigation. A maximum of three Providers will be promoted to each Lot. These Providers will be ranked according to highest overall final evaluation score. The highest scoring provider will be the Primary provider for that geographical Lot/Zone with the other successful providers within the Lot (Zone) being the alternative (according to rank) if the primary provider is unable to provide the service. The Lots are coterminous with the Zones. Each Lot aligns with a geographical zone across the Devon County Council Coroner’s jurisdiction. The deceased is to be collected as directed by the Police Control Room and the Coroner's office and transported to North Devon District Hospital and any other location as directed by the Coroner.
