Sheffield City Council are statutorily required to provide a post-mortem service for HM Coroner South Yorkshire (West). This service is provided in different locations by specialist staff (on a fee per case basis). The specific nature of the work means there is no route to market, no alternative provisions possible and the service cannot be subjected to competition.
The proposal is to produce a 3-year waiver for all categories of post-mortem (standard, forensic, and children’s). This will remove the need to produce 9 separate waivers as has been done previously (one per category per year). This will save time and expenditure.
