Tender 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. The majority of bodies are currently transported to the Pathology Directorate at Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro. In some cases bodies may need to be transported to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth and Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital and on occasions taken to other 1.4.2017.
