Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime bought an interim supply and delivery of feed, bedding and stable requisites for the Metropolitan Police Service Mounted Branch. The goods support the operational needs and welfare of the horses at the Mounted Branch stables, maintaining supplies while a new contract was being procured. Deliveries were required to Imber Court, Great Scotland Yard and the Hyde Park Mounted Branch, all in London. The procurement covers agricultural and related products, including the stable supplies needed at these sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Frosburys Limited. It was a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026. Its value is £49,050 excluding VAT (£58,860 including VAT). The award record does not give a separate award date or evaluation criteria. This was a short-term interim arrangement to maintain continuity between the expiry of the previous arrangements and the introduction of a new contract following the buyer’s procurement process.

For suppliers of animal feed, bedding and stable equipment, this award demonstrates demand from the Metropolitan Police Service Mounted Branch for dependable supply and delivery across several London stable locations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide the range of routine feed, bedding and stable requisites needed to support horse welfare and operational readiness, together with reliable logistics to Imber Court, Great Scotland Yard and Hyde Park. The buyer used a limited competition below the procurement threshold, and selected Frosburys Limited for this interim supply. Suppliers able to handle a short-term continuity requirement as well as fulfil deliveries across multiple sites would be well placed to compete if similar needs arise again.
