## Summary

The procurement process for the "Equine Waste and Bedding" contract is being conducted by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority - Greater Manchester Police. This contract, valued at £200,000, falls under the industry category of agricultural supplies and services, with a focus on providing bedding and waste disposal for horses. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract officially starting on 1st April 2020 and running until 31st March 2025. The tender period ended on 20th December 2019. This opportunity is located in South Manchester and was announced under an open procurement method.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural supplies and waste management services. Companies that offer alternative bedding products, composting solutions, or sustainable waste disposal methods would be particularly well-suited to compete. The requirement for environmentally friendly disposal solutions emphasises the need for innovative approaches, which can be a strong selling point for suppliers in this sector.

## 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.
