Lot Information
Lot 1
Digital Autopsy (DA) is a non-invasive autopsy in which digital imaging technology using Computerised Tomography (CT) is used to develop three dimensional images for a virtual exploration of the human body. Kent County Council and the Kent Senior Coroners have agreed to use DA as the principal means of establishing the cause of death for all cases referred to the coroner that would otherwise be dealt with using traditional invasive post-mortem procedures. DA will be the first line of intervention, but where this does not give a successful cause of death outcome, the deceased will go on for a full or part invasive post-mortem. The successful supplier will be required to provide digital autopsies for an average demand of 3,300 post-mortems per annum, this number may vary subject to the number of deaths within the county per annum. In addition to digital autopsies, the successful supplier will also be responsible for the day to day running of the associated Body Store.
Renewal: The initial contract duration will be between 60 and 120 months. There is scope to extend the contract for up to a total of 180 months.
