The University of Leicester Medical School Body Donation Programme

Tender description

The Body Donation Programme takes place at the University of Leicester Medical School. Members of the public (referred to as 'bequests' in this document), bequeath their bodies for anatomical examination, and are a valuable teaching source for teaching the structure and function of the human body to medical students, and other healthcare professionals. Cremations must take place at a crematorium in Leicester or Loughborough (i.e. Gilroes Crematorium, Loughborough Crematorium or Great Glen Crematorium). The successful tenderer will be required to transport bequests who have donated their bodies for anatomical examination to the University of Leicester and to arrange and carry out subsequent cremations which take place in late June/early July each year for up to 50 bequests.
