The Coroner is an independent judicial officer whose role is to investigate the causes of sudden deaths, deaths of unknown cause, unnatural or violent deaths or deaths in custody. Bodies that fall under the jurisdiction of the Coroner are transported to a designated mortuary under specific conditions for further investigation and possible post-mortem.
The proposed objectives of this procurement are as follows.
i. To put in place via an open tender process a compliant contract to deliver a Coroner’s Transport Removal service on behalf of HM Coroner for Surrey.

i. To meet the requirements of The Coroners Act 1988.
ii. The movement of deceased, coming under the jurisdiction of the Coroner, to a pre-designated mortuary for investigation.

v. Adherence to strict procedures to ensure integrity of evidence that may be pertinent to a criminal investigation.
