The H.M. Coroner has a duty to investigate the death where the Coroner has reason to suspect that (i) the deceased died a violent or unnatural death; (ii) the cause of death is unknown; or (iii) the deceased died while in custody or otherwise in state detention. Where such a death occurs in the community, the H.M. Coroner may order the body to be removed to any suitable Storage Location. In the majority of cases the Storage Location will be a Hospital Mortuary or Funeral Director, however other Storage Locations will also be used as required to meet demand. In the majority of cases a Police Officer will instruct the Contractor to collect and remove the body, however on occasions this instruction may also be received from H.M. Coroner or a Coroner’s Officer. This procurement is seeking suppliers to deliver body removal and body storage solutions.
