## Notice

Sandwell MBC (the "Council") is the relevant authority for the Black Country Coroners Jurisdiction which covers four local authority areas namely; Sandwell MBC, Dudley MBC, Walsall MBC and the City of Wolverhampton. Annually approximately 5000 deaths are reported to the Senior Coroner for the Black Country. When discharging his or her judicial responsibilities, a coroner will make whatever inquiries are necessary when endeavouring to establish a cause of death. Those inquiries although not exclusively may involve a Digital Autopsy scan, a Post Mortem examination and in some instances the use of Toxicology Services to ensure that service he or she provides meets the needs of the bereaved in a timely manner. The Council is therefore co-ordinating a tender exercise for Toxicology Services and wishes to invite interested suppliers ("Tenderers") to participate in a tender exercise in relation to the supply of these services ("invitation to Tender" or "ITT").
