## Summary

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for Equine Enforcement Services, focusing on animal husbandry and environmental services within the UK. The tender was conducted as a single-stage open procedure under Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023, aiming to appoint an equine bailiff service to manage fly-grazed horses on council land, with reactive and targeted provisions included. The process concluded with an award dated 1 April 2026, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, offering these services in the UKG36 region.
