Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council buys the transfer of deceased people from North and North East Lincolnshire to a hospital mortuary for post-mortem examinations. This is a specialist, road-based transport service, rather than general passenger or freight transport. The stated delivery location is Lincoln, with the service covering transfers from the two Lincolnshire areas to a hospital mortuary. The requirement is described as an extension of the existing post-mortem transfer service. It is relevant to operators able to handle sensitive, time-critical transfers and coordinate journeys between local areas and hospital mortuary facilities.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Bloodfast EVS Limited. The award is recorded as active, with an award date of 1 June 2025; the contract runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2028. The recorded award value is £0, so no priced contract value is available to assess. The stated tender submission deadline was 1 May 2025. The procurement is categorised as a services contract, with the method described as “Other”. The process data does not set out lots, eligibility requirements beyond indicating suitability for SMEs, or any evaluation criteria. The award is for the transfer service covering North and North East Lincolnshire to a hospital mortuary.

The award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for a specialist transfer service supporting post-mortem examinations. A credible competitor would need to show reliable road transport operations for deceased transfers, the ability to serve North and North East Lincolnshire and deliver to hospital mortuary facilities, and the capacity to handle this work sensitively and consistently. The selected supplier, Bloodfast EVS Limited, is recorded as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that this type of requirement is not necessarily confined to large national operators. Businesses already providing specialist transport or mortuary-related logistics may find the requirement relevant, provided they can demonstrate dependable service delivery across the stated locations.
