## Summary

The Leeds City Council is currently conducting an open tender process for a contract titled "Tethered Horses," which aims to address the issue of horses being unlawfully kept on council land in Leeds, Yorkshire and the Humber region. This procurement is classified under agricultural services, with a total value of £25,000. The tender period is set to close on 28 February 2018, and the contract is expected to commence on 2 April 2018, lasting until 31 March 2020.

This opportunity presents potential growth for businesses within the agricultural and land management sectors, particularly those experienced in livestock management, land maintenance, and animal welfare. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in addressing issues of unauthorized grazing and animal control would be well-suited to compete for this contract, thus supporting the council’s efforts to enhance local community safety and land usage.

## Notice

There is a small but significant problem in Leeds caused by horses being kept or tethered on Council land without lawful permission or authority. As well as fouling and causing damage to the land, the horses can attack people and cause serious road accidents. They also cause problems for local residents by depriving them of the safe use and enjoyment of land provided for the public benefit. The council will not normally permit unauthorised horses to occupy any council property or land and will take action to remove the horse by a process of notification and seizure if necessary. The only exception to this general position is where the Council may offer from time to time some land for grazing via an established tendering process.
