We are looking for a specialist registered funeral provider to provide transportation services of deceased donors bodies from a hospital or location within the North West region, into our Liverpool based donor facility. This will also involve return transportation service, typically within a 24-48 hour period.
We would need assurance that arrangements can be made at a last minute’s notice and include out-of-hour services as donors are often required without prior notice. We currently require x2 donor collections/ returns per month within the North West region. (although frequency can vary)
We would be contracting under NHSBT standard purchase order terms and conditions, link below:
