Description
The Academic Unit of Medical Education at the University of Sheffield is a leading centre for Medical Education. Our curriculum is innovative and highly regarded, developing our students to achieve their potential. The Academic Unit of Medical Education includes the Clinical Skills Centre, Medical Teaching Unit (Anatomy) and the Academic Unit of Primary Medical Care.
The University of Sheffield is one of a number of establishments which accept whole body donations after death. The majority of donors we accept are from the local area and are collected from hospitals, other funeral directors, mortuaries, care homes, nursing homes and private houses.
A donated body can be used for a number of purposes, which may include:-
1) Anatomical examination - teaching students or healthcare professionals about the structure and function of the human body
2) Education and training - training healthcare professionals on surgical techniques
The University of Sheffield wishes to award a contract for the provision of Funeral Director Services for bodies bequeathed for the purpose of anatomical education and training.
This tender invites expressions of interest in the main aspects of the service that we wish to purchase for suitably dignified disposal of donor bodies. The required service has two essential elements:-
1) Removal and transportation of the deceased to the successful tenderer's premises where it is stored, with onward transportation to the University of Sheffield's Medical Teaching Unit (MTU) at a later date
2) Funerals for people who have donated their bodies to the University of Sheffield's Medical Teaching Unit (MTU)
