## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking tenders for the "Uplift and Transportation of Deceased Persons," which is a service procurement aimed at ensuring the dignified transport of deceased individuals across Scotland. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 3rd September 2020. The contract encompasses two lots: Lot 1 for reactive journeys (transporting from locus to mortuary) and Lot 2 for planned journeys to designated mortuaries. This tender employs an open procurement method, allowing any interested supplier to submit bids.

This opportunity is well-suited for funeral service providers, particularly those offering comprehensive logistical support for the transport of the deceased.
