The brief

Devon County Council intends to procure a county-wide Coroners Service Body Transportation Service across the Devon Coroner jurisdiction.

The service will include the collection and transportation of deceased persons on behalf of HM Coroner from locations within the community to designated mortuaries, body storage facilities, funeral directors, or other approved destinations.

The service will also include transportation between mortuaries and the transfer of deceased persons to specialist facilities outside the area where required, such as for specialist post-mortem examinations.

The contract is expected to cover the Devon Coroner area, including Exeter, Greater Plymouth, and Torbay and South Devon, providing a resilient, professional, and dignified service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
