## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority - Greater Manchester Police is inviting tenders for the supply and delivery of equine bedding and a subsequent waste collection and disposal service. This procurement is classified under the agricultural supplies industry and is based in South Manchester, with a tender process currently open. The tender period ends on 20 December 2019, while the contract is set to begin on 1 April 2020 and will last until 31 March 2025. The procurement follows an open process, allowing all interested suppliers to submit bids for this opportunity.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in agricultural supplies, waste management, and composting services. Companies that specialise in sustainable waste disposal and those offering innovative bedding solutions for equine facilities would be particularly well-suited to compete. The Greater Manchester Police’s preference for environmentally friendly disposal methods such as composting or gasification also aligns with the growing demand for green solutions, presenting a chance for businesses to expand their operations in this area.

## Notice

GMP requires a contract for the supply and delivery of equine bedding, and the provision of a subsequent waste collection and disposal service. GMP has an establishment of 20 horses, stabled at a single site in South Manchester. The bedding currently used at the stables is a chopped rape straw product, however tenderers are welcome to submit a bid for an alternative product type, as long as the proposed product meets the requirement of the specification. Each week the Mounted Unit generates between 5 and 10 tonnes of stable litter, comprising approximately 75% bedding material and 25% horse manure. It is the preference of the Authority that the waste is disposed of by sustainable mechanisms, such as composting or gasification. Disposal routes other than landfill will be given preference in the evaluation.
