Hertfordshire County Council awarded a contract to East and North Hertfordshire Trust (ENHT), West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust (WHHT), and Princess Alexandra Hospital Harlow (PAH) for the provision of Coroner's post mortems.

The contract, valued at £980,000, was awarded without prior publication under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 due to absence of competition for technical reasons.

The service is required to fulfill the Council's statutory duty to provide a Coroner Service, with post-mortems conducted at three NHS hospital mortuaries within or near Hertfordshire.

The value will be distributed among the trusts based on the monthly volume of deceased referred for examination.
