## Summary

The Torbay Council is initiating a tender for the "Services to HM Coroner in Torbay and South Devon," which falls under the category of Other community, social and personal services. This procurement process is currently at the Tender stage and is set to close on 21st March 2017. The contract, valued at £43,230, will involve the collection and removal service of deceased individuals on behalf of the Coroner and will cover Torbay and surrounding areas, including parts of Teignbridge and South Hams. The successful provider will commence services from 1st May 2017 through to 30th April 2020, and any interested applicants must register on Supplying The South West to access the necessary tender documents.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transport and logistics within the social services sector. Companies equipped to handle sensitive operations related to body collections, as well as those experienced in dealing with local authorities, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the open nature of the procurement method, which can foster business growth in local communities through successful contracting with public authorities.

## Notice

In the unfortunate case of a violent, sudden or suspicious death it is the responsibility of H.M. Coroner to remove bodies from the scene to complete the necessary inquest. The Coroner for Torbay also has responsibility for areas outside the Bay (parts of Teignbridge and parts of South Hams). The Devon and Cornwall Police Constabulary Control Centre is responsible for the initial instruction for collection of the body. This new Contract is for the collections and removals (of the deceased) service, on behalf of H.M. Coroner, by a sole service provider, covering Torbay and the surrounding areas of Teignbridge and the South Hams. Please refer to the tender documents for full details of the requirements. Additional information: The tender documents are publicly available on the Portal in PDF format (read only). However, applicants wishing to respond, must be registered on Supplying The South West and in the 'Respond' area of the opportunity, in order to access the Word/Excel format versions of the documents, for completion and submission.
