## Summary

The procurement process, managed by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, involves a contract for "Equine Waste Collection & Disposal." It addresses the refuse and waste-related services industry and takes place at GMP's Mounted Unit located in Manchester, United Kingdom. The procurement process utilised a direct method classified as below threshold without competition, which has already reached the award stage, having commenced on 1st October 2025 and will continue until 30th September 2028, with the possibility of renewal for an additional two years. The contract, valued at £125,000 with a gross amount of £150,000, was awarded on 18th September 2025 to the supplier C W Shenton.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management services, particularly those capable of handling specialized waste such as equine materials. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority's emphasis on sustainable disposal approaches, such as composting or gasification, opens the door for environmentally focused companies. Small to medium enterprises with expertise in these areas would find this contract beneficial due to the steady volume of waste that needs regular collection and disposal, making it an excellent opportunity for business growth and collaboration with a public authority.

## Notice

The contract is for the provison of an equine waste collection & disposal service, collected from GMP's Mounted Unit at Hough End. The Mounted Unit is fitted with a self contained collection area for waste. The supplier is expected to collect waste from this area on a weekly basis, in an efficient and practicable manner. A skip or container is not accepted. All waste should be removed from the area, and the area should be cleaned and swept prior to leaving the site. Waste should then be disposed of in line with waste regulations, with a preference from the Authority for sustainable mechanisms such as composting or gasification. Volumes and values are not guaranteed and there is a significant element of seasonal variation in waste produced. Estimated current volumes are 20 tonnes per month in the summer, and 30 tonnes per month in the winter.
