Description
The Body Removal contracts are essential for the removal of bodies when a person dies in the community and their death has been referred to H.M. Coroner. These contracts are typically held by registered funeral directors who perform this duty on behalf of HM Coroner The Authority requires provider(s) who will carry out the following requirements 1) Body Removal • Remove the deceased from the community and transport them to the supplier's premises, or occasionally to the nearest mortuary (Addenbrookes Hospital or Peterborough City Hospital). • Transport the body to the relevant mortuary for a post-mortem examination. • After the post-mortem, transport the body back to their premises until they are released to the family funeral directors. • In extreme circumstances, the supplier may be required to collect a body from outside the coronial jurisdiction or transport it out of the jurisdiction. • The supplier must provide and maintain any necessary accommodation, vehicles, equipment, and materials at their own expense to carry out the service. (ii) Storage • Facilities must be local to the jurisdiction and purpose-built or modified specifically for this function. • They must be able to store the deceased for up to three days following instructions from the coroner, providing suitable storage facilities to meet the contract requirements. Lots 3 and 4 as separate Lots are below the relevant threshold as Schedule 1 of the Procurement Act 2023 at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/schedule/1, but they are part of a larger, above threshold procurement.
