The investigation may include an inquest hearing. The coroner’s role is to find out who died and how, when and where they died. In some cases, it is necessary to hold a post mortem examination to find out the cause of death. If the deceased died in the community the body must be transported to the coroner’s mortuary for the post mortem examination, or transferred to a specialist post mortem facility and this contract provides for this service. There are two lots: Lot 1 (West – Croydon and Sutton): to collect deceased in the community, or from hospital and transport to either Croydon University Hospital or Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough.
