Funeral services

Tender description

The University of Sheffield is one of a number of establishments which accept whole body donations. The majority of donors we accept are from the local area and are collected from hospitals, other funeral directors etc. A donated body can be used for a number of purposes, including: 1) Anatomical examination — teaching students or healthcare professionals about the structure and function of the human body. 2) Education and training — training healthcare professionals on surgical techniques. The UoS wishes to award a contract for the provision of funeral director services for bodies bequeathed for the purpose of anatomical education and training. The required service has two essential elements: 1) Removal and transportation of the deceased to the successful tenderer's premises where it is stored, with onward transportation to the UoS's Medical Teaching Unit at a later date; 2) Funerals for people who have donated their bodies to the University of Sheffield's Medical Teaching Unit.
