## Notice

Norfolk County Council is looking to procure a toxicology analysis and reports service.

Under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (the 2009 Act), the Coroners (Investigation) Regulations 2013 and the Coroners (Inquest Rules) 2013, the Coroner is required to establish the cause of a person's death.
