## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent has awarded two contracts for the recovery of stray, loose, and abandoned horses from the highway, covering the regions of Kent and Essex. This procurement was conducted via an open procedure, with a total contract value of approximately £1,350,000, which is intended to cover the entire term from 1 November 2017 to 31 October 2020, inclusive of potential one-year extensions. The tender process concluded on 1 September 2017, and this contract is classified under the transport services category (EXCL. Waste transport).

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services, particularly those with experience in animal recovery and welfare. Businesses that can demonstrate the capacity to manage variable volumes of service provision and ensure the welfare of animals during recovery will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract may enable successful bidders to strengthen their market position and expand their service offerings across the East of England and South East regions.

## Notice

Contract award notice - two contracts have been awarded following a 2-Lot procurement exercise. Lot 1 - Kent Lot 2 - Essex Additional information: The stated contract end date is the initial term; there are two further extension options of one year each available. The stated 'contract value' and 'awarded value' is anticipated to be a maximum value over the full term of both Lots including all extension options. This value was calculated using the bid price for a shopping basket of services, and values for other services that may be necessary during the contract term but which were not included in the evaluation of either Lot. The actual contract value shall vary according to the volume of horses requiring recovery and other factors.
