## Summary

The Royal Armouries Museum, operating as a central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for the "Horse Provision FY 2026/27" contract, aimed at facilitating equestrian displays such as the Easter Tournament 2026 and Summer of Genghis Khan shows in Leeds, United Kingdom. The procurement process reached the award and contract stages on 16th January 2026, with services provided by Atkinson Action Horses. The primary industry category involved is performance entertainment services, and the contract is valued at £82,128.80 plus VAT, with the potential for extension to cover similar needs during the Easter Tournament 2027. The procurement method followed was below threshold and unspecified, and the contract period extends from 7th January 2026 to 31st August 2026, with a possible extension to 30th April 2027.

This procurement creates opportunities for businesses specialising in equestrian services and performance entertainment to engage with central government projects, thus fostering business growth in these niche markets. SMEs focusing on animal provision and performance coordination, particularly those with experience in handling equestrian display requirements, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts in the future. Engaging in these government contracts can enhance business visibility and credibility, offering a platform to showcase expertise on significant public stages. Businesses positioned in regions like Yorkshire could particularly benefit due to the proximity to the project location in Leeds.
